With researcher Kaylen from the United States
When you think about the health of a primate, you think about sickness, right? Physical health. Well, behavioral health is just as important! How a primate is behaving can give a glimpse of their mental and emotional state, as well as providing clues about whether or not they are sick or in pain.
Studying behavior is for us the only way to guess what they are thinking or feeling and help provide answers to questions like: how do they form relationships with each other? Do they prefer one food over another? Are they happy and acting like they would do in the wild?
