Brief Description: Some primates enjoy interacting with items such as cameras, phones, and tablets through the caging.
Materials: Tablets, smartphones, cameras, etc. Durable cases are strongly recommended if you allow the primates to make contact with them or are concerned about them getting wet.
Assembly Instructions: No assembly required
How to Use: You can download simple applications that allow primates to interact with a phone or tablet’s touch screen. Apps may include drawing and playing music. Chimpanzees may also enjoy looking at themselves in the camera, seeing photos, or watching videos.
Cost: These items can be quite costly. Fortunately, many people have them, so it can be easy to share. Apps for Apes is a program working towards donating iPads for enriching captive apes.
