when and who, other member the group fight for the control the group and the females?

[LivingLinksCentre]

@zongolika only when one of the other males is bigger and stronger than Popeye are they likely to fight. At this stage the zoo will probably move one of the males to avoid any problems. Sometimes it is possible to but the 'loser' back into the group where he will have a lower rank. This is what happened when Popeye took over the group from Maurice at Living Links. In the wild young males will leave their group and look for new groups to take over - thats when they will fight.

what program are you using to keep track of your focal animal?

[LivingLinksCentre]

@adedeck2 you mean to make Popeye's name follow him around? Final Cut Pro - just basic movement, but it takes a long time to render - which is why they don't all have labels!
