Breech delivery and birth‐related behaviors in wild mantled howling monkeys
Abstract
The breech birth of an infant mantled howling monkey was observed on February 12,
1990. The mother assisted the successful delivery by pulling on the infant's tail
and hindleg. No other members of the social group attended the mother or demonstrated
any interest in the birth process. Copyright © 1991 Wiley‐Liss, Inc., A Wiley Company
