Reintroduction of a neonatal Woolly monkey Lagothrix lagotricha at Monkey World – Ape Rescue Centre, UK, following separation from mother by dominant male at birth

Abstract: In May 2010, a newborn ♂ Woolly monkey Lagothrix lagotricha at Monkey World – Ape Rescue Centre, UK, was found being carried by the dominant ♂ (its father). Attempts were made to encourage the ♂ to return the infant to the mother but these were unsuccessful. Both parents were anaesthetized, and the infant was returned to the ♀ who went on to rear it successfully.

“…It is hoped that by recording the successful hand‐rearing and reintroduction of three Woolly monkey infants, and the events surrounding the methods used to correct a forced‐separation situation (see Barnes, ), we will encourage other collections that keep the species to continue to breed the Woolly monkeys in their care. Woolly monkeys are rare in captivity and the captive population is decreasing so every birth is vitally important to the worldwide captive population.…”

“…Barnes12 stated that ‘optimal animal management is made possible by excellent veterinary provision working in tandem with good keeper-animal relationships’. The importance of dedicated keepers who know their animals well and are experienced in operant conditioning techniques can have a significant positive effect on the outcome of an elephant general anaesthetic, reducing the duration of the procedure, improving animal safety and ensuring the safety of the dentist, veterinarians and keepers.…”

“…The degree of difficulty to reintroduce an infant depends on the length of separation and the number of adult individuals in a group. The separation of the neonate from its mother may be brief and last just a few days (Keiter et al, 1983) or even a few hours (Barnes, 2012), in which case reintroduction is straightforward because the mother is still lactating and may accept to take her offspring back. Most reintroductions described in the literature involve small captive groups of no more than a few adult females and/or one adult male, plus immature individuals (Meyer and Wilcox, 1982;Dronzek et al, 1986;Visalberghi and Riviello, 1987;Watson and Petto, 1988;Sodaro, 1993a, b;Sodaro and Weber, 2000;Abellò et al, 2007;Cross, 2007;Abellò and Collel, 2009;Barnes and Cronin, 2012).…”
