Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis in an Orangutan (pongo P. Pygmaeus) in the Amsterdam Zoo
In this paper the alterations of the skeleton of a 42 year old, Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus, Linnaeus, 1760) are described. The skeleton showed typical hyperostosis and calcification on the right side of the thoracic vertebrae, consistent with the skeletal disease known in human pathology under the name of Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH, ankylosing hyperostosis). ...

The present study is the first report of whether o...

Levels of abstraction have rarely been manipulated in studies of natural concept formation in nonhumans. Isolated examples have indicated that animals, relative to humans, may learn concepts at varying levels of abstraction with differential ease. The ability of 6 orangutans (Pongo abelii) of various ages to make natural concept discriminations at 3 levels of abstraction was therefore investiga...
