The Resting Behavior of the Marmoset Monkey
Abstract
A study was made of the diurnal and nocturnal resting behavior of captive common marmosets, Callothrix jacchus. Two twenty-four hour video tapes were made of each of twelve Juvenile monkeys. Three of the juveniles were caged by themselves, six were caged as pairs and the other three were caged as a group. Comparisons were made between those caged as pairs to those caged both singly and in a group. It was found that those caged individually tended to spend much more time resting than did those caged either as pairs or in a group.
