title: [Monkey behavior in the natural environment of the Pskov region].
abstract: Observations and experiments conducted on rhesus monkeys in close-to-natural conditions gave the following results. Monkeys successfully transfer the laboratory habit of signals discrimination by the cue of "more--less" to natural objects. Play behaviour is not regulated by individual ranks. The leader of the group bears the heaviest responsibility for the group conservation. In the sphere of manipulationn and reinforcement the greatest part is played by dominant animals. No manifestations of "tool" activity was recorded, although separate elements of rational behaviour were present.
