Abstract

This study based on the daily and stational behavior activity of these species of primate, Ateles geoffroyi panamensis y Ateles goeffroyi robustuss in captivity, was carried-out at the Zoo of the Summit Municipal Park, of Panama City during October to November (rainy season), 2011 and February and March (dry season), 2012. For the study two individuals (male and female) of each species were used, held in cages of 355.60 cm x 177.80 cm, with a trap area of 129.54 cm and annexed  of 160.02  x 129.54 x 114.30 cm. The activities studied of the two species were: resting, games, forage, body care, vocalization, social approach, food disorder and aggression against fence. Significant behavior activity found between the two species: Ateles geoffroyi panamensis y Ateles fusciceps robustus, were: resting, vocalization, food disorder, aggression against fence and games. This descriptive study of the behavior of these species of primates, will help us learn about the daily and stationally behavior in captivity, and will give information to Summit Municipal Park, for the better management of these species in cages.
