Grossmont College Animals in a Shelter Behavioral Analysis Paper
Question Description
PART 1: QUALITATIVE:
Use the APE CAM (Orangutans and Siamangs) for the Qualitative observation. In the enclosure, there are three siamangs (a family group with a male, female, and a female juvenile), and there are 4 orangutans, one adult male, two adult females, and a juvenile. When recording the primates, please be sure to only record the ones you actually observe during the 20 minutes. Not all individuals may be in the exhibit at the same time. Use 5 minute intervals, rather than two minutes as it says in the instructions. Be as descriptive as possible, if you need more space, you may type, or attach another sheet. Do a group observation.
PART 2: QUANTITATIVE:
Use the Baboon Cam (Hamadryas Baboons and Geladas) for the Quantitative observation. These cameras show either Hamadryas baboons (a troop of at least 20 individuals) or gelada monkeys (6 males). Be specific in describing the primates you actually observe on the footage.Use 5 minute intervals. You need to observe the whole group for this one, but be aware that the camera angles may change, and it is possible (likely!) that you will not be able to follow the same individuals throughout the entire 20 minutes. Please take note of the individual(s) that you are observing on each section. For each column, take note of the NUMBER OF ANIMALS doing each activity during the 5 minute interval.
EXTRA CREDIT OPTION 1: observe a focal animal from the APE cam and do a second Qualitative observation form. This means you observe one animal for 20 minutes, and make your observations.
EXTRA CREDIT OPTION 2: observe the Ape cam and do a second Quantitative observation form.
EXTRA CREDIT OPTION 3: observe koalas and write at least two paragraphs where you compare and contrast their physical features and behaviors with primates.
Reminders!
The observation should last 20 minutes each. Your time intervals are 5 minutes (not two as it says in the book).
If the camera changes views while you are observing, please make a note of this in your observations.
Please watch this week’s zoom meeting for detailed instructions and an example of how to do these.
