INTRODUCTION: This assignment is designed to help you learn more about and\u00a0<\/p>\n

observe in real time some of the primates we have studied in our course, in this\u00a0<\/p>\n

case the chimpanzee. Besides your zoo visit, your final written report should\u00a0<\/p>\n

reflect thoughtful consideration of the assigned readings. The report will be based\u00a0<\/p>\n

on a description of the events in the chimp enclosure over period of 45 minutes\u00a0<\/p>\n

(minimum). Judge your time wisely and make sure to follow all the directions\u00a0<\/p>\n

presented below here. A total of 15 points may be earned IF you follow all\u00a0<\/p>\n

directions and present a well-prepared report (with ticket attached) by the\u00a0<\/p>\n

A. GRADING: Points will be awarded according to how your report covers the\u00a0<\/p>\n

following issues:<\/p>\n

\u00a01. Describe enclosure and compare it to chimp natural habitat 3 points<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a02. Identify individual chimps as Adult Male-1; Adult Female-1; Juvenile Male-<\/p>\n

1; Juvenile Female-1, etc. [If this is difficult, try another way to identify the\u00a0<\/p>\n

subject of your comments.] Describe at least one interaction\/behavior, anything\u00a0<\/p>\n

from fast moving to just \u201clounging together\u201d while grooming, etc. 5 points<\/p>\n

\u00a03. Integrate key ideas from assigned readings* and clearly relate them to these\u00a0<\/p>\n

L.A. Zoo chimps. 5 points<\/p>\n

\u00a04. Organize, proof read, and include a \u201cmug shot\u201d with admission ticket<\/p>\n

2 points<\/p>\n

TOTAL POINTS\u202615\u00a0<\/p>\n

* Required readings:\u00a0<\/p>\n

a. Review Ch. 7 (pp.167-68) and Ch. 8 (pp.180-89) for info on the primates,\u00a0<\/p>\n

in this case the chimpanzee<\/p>\n

b. Read \u201cThe 2% Difference,\u201d in ANNUAL EDITIONS: Physical\u00a0<\/p>\n

Anthropology 08\/09 edition. See also in Discover Magazine, April 2006;\u00a0<\/p>\n

available on-line at http:\/\/discovermagazine.com\/2006\/apr\/chimp-<\/p>\n

genome.<\/p>\n

ANNUAL EDITIONS (08\/09)reference to the attendant. Make sure to read these selections before you go to the\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zoo.<\/p>\n

B. KEEP IN MIND: When you walk up to any animal enclosure, the behavior\u00a0<\/p>\n

may appear to be erratic or random; maybe \u201cnothing\u201d is happening. However,\u00a0<\/p>\n

much of the behavior is patterned in response to a stimulus not necessarily evident\u00a0<\/p>\n

to us. Be patient. The best you can do is to carefully & accurately describe their\u00a0<\/p>\n

physical activity & note its context at the time. There is no magic bullet! Do your\u00a0<\/p>\n

best.<\/p>\n

The Enclosure. If you include photos, do provide SHORT CAPTIONS. If you are\u00a0<\/p>\n

artistic, make a sketch of the enclosure and include it with your report. While there\u00a0<\/p>\n

is no ironclad page count for this project, please do not use pictures & drawings as\u00a0<\/p>\n

fillers! Your thoughts are paramount.<\/p>\n

C. DRAFTING YOUR REPORT: After you have completed your observations,\u00a0<\/p>\n

go aside and carefully read over your notes. Are there any notable behavior<\/p>\n

patterns, anything that indicates relationships, friendships, or pecking order? You\u00a0<\/p>\n

should draw on the physical characteristics of the chimpanzee provided in Ch. 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Integrate key information from the other required readings. Omit it and you will\u00a0<\/p>\n

lose points. Don’t fret; a good faith effort is what counts here.<\/p>\n

D. ORGANIZING YOUR REPORT: A good report will be well organized\u00a0<\/p>\n

around the \u201cGrading\u201d topics. About four to five pages (double spaced) is\u00a0<\/p>\n

acceptable. This does NOT include your cover page, any photos, charts or maps.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Use one-inch margins and avoid \u201cpadding\u201d with empty spaces between sections or\u00a0<\/p>\n

paragraphs. Most of all, sincere work and a true learning experience is what we\u00a0<\/p>\n

are after here. Your instructor\u2019s \u201ceagle eye\u201d can spot the proverbial fluff and \u201cb.s.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do a good job and shine!<\/p>\n
