title: Study of Hamadryas Baboons (Papio Hamadryas) Ability to Solve Object Manipulation Tasks.
abstract: Cognitive ability to solve object manipulation tasks was evaluated by "string pulling" and "transparent tube" tests. The string pulling task was solved by 7 of 11 animals. The task of object extraction from the tube was too difficult, not a single animal solved it. The authors conclude that Hamadryas baboons demonstrated rather poor ability to solve object manipulation tasks.
