'To enrich a primate's life and give them control over their environment is always better for their welfare.'

University of Glasgow have launched their 'Lemur Lounge' at Blair Drummond SP in order to find if playing sounds on demand could enrich the everyday lives of lemurs.

A ‘lemur relaxation lounge’ was installed at Blair Drummond Safari Park in an attempt to determine which sounds could help to improve life for zoo animals thetimes.co.uk/article/lemurs…

Fay Clark UofG Computing Science Blair Drummond SP Our work highlights that analysis of animal tech at a broad level does not capture the whole picture as species and individual factors influence an animal's computer usage. For future animal tech, there is a need for customisable and adaptive computers for group-housed animals🐒

Fay Clark UofG Computing Science Blair Drummond SP As individuals, older lemurs used the device more. There were clear differences in how often individuals triggered the various audio types each having individual preferences for audio. So what does this tell us?

Fay Clark UofG Computing Science Blair Drummond SP Lemurs used the device a lot - 1,826 times over 56 days. We found no audio preference as a group but as a group lemurs did interact with the device more often and for longer when it produced audio over silence 🎶🔇

🐒🎶Researchers from the University of Glasgow have created a unique 'LemurLounge' at Blair Drummond Safari Park, offering lemurs the choice to play sounds on demand.
