Cotton-top Tamarin Husbandry Training Niabi Zoological Society

Introduction of empty syringe for cooperative husbandry care to teach voluntary medication behavior. First session introduction of syringe as a new prop for targeting. There is another tamarin being trained that is not in the video. That is why there are multiple clicks (intended for that tamarin). Marc does a great job of presenting the syringe upon eye contact (the tamarin was still consuming the previously offered mealworm, though, so not focused on the syringe as a target until done eating!).
Recorded on July 26, 2010 using a Flip Video camcorder.
