Step into a researcher’s shoes at Regenstein Center for African Apes to observe the building’s amazing animals. Participants begin Exploring Ape Behavior with an overview of animal behavioral studies at the Lester E. Fisher Center for the Study and Conservation of Apes.

Afterwards, they embark on their own research project, using an iPod Touch to record the activities of one of the zoo’s gorillas or chimpanzees.

Experience firsthand how zoo research helps us better understand the intelligence and complexity of these extraordinary animals.

Time: 11 a.m.–12:15 p.m., Wednesday–Sunday, beginning April 2, 2008
Place: Participants meet at the south entrance of the Helen Brach Primate House (#6 on the Visitor's Guide map).
Price: $5. Tickets must be purchased online.
