Subject: Workshop on gelada behavior and sound sequences
Welcome
To anyone interested or curious
I'm organizing a meeting of people who are studying gelada baboon behavior
and/or sounds (and also for anyone just curious.) Geladas produce the
greatest variety of sounds and sound sequences of all primates except for
people. It will be an informal get-together to share findings and ideas.
It will take place in Cleveland on Sat. December 15.
Please contact me at brucerichman22 at yahoo.com or call me at
412-795-6373.
Thanks,

Subject: Help on animal behavior
Greetings,
I am Suzana Bianco from the Federal Fluminense University, in Brazil
(http://www.uff.br). I am a student of architecture, and I have decided
that my graduation project will be an eco-friendly zoo. I am searching for
information about the life, habits and habitats of wild animals, so that I
can design the zoo to suit each animal´s needs entirely. During my
research I came upon your organization and would like to ask you for any
information you might have that would help me.
I thank you for your consideration and time,
Suzana Bianco
