Whether you are introducing one orangutan to another, integrating a bonobo into an established group, or creating a brand new bachelor group of gorillas, great ape introductions can be unpredictable, complex and even dangerous.
Extensive planning and preparation are needed for an introduction to run smoothly, yet the risks are never eliminated completely. So being prepared for every eventuality and knowing how to pick up on subtle behaviours is partcularly important when it comes to great ape introductions.
Great Ape Consultancy can help you plan your introduction effectively to minimise risk and even provide practical support if required. Evaluation of introductions is also extremely important for both staff training purposes and animal records. We can help you assess and evaluate your introductions and train staff to do the same.
