Part I- A Call from Anne It was late in the work day and I was rushing around trying to get some new chimps settled in their habitat when the phone rang. “Hi Lisa, it's Anne and I've got a favor to ask. I know you have some captive male orangutans at the National Zoo and I'm hoping you'll help me collect some growth, development, and behavior data on these animals. I've enlisted the cooperation of curators at other zoos in the U.S. to help me assemble this database on juvenile male orangutan development. "As you may know," Anne continued, "when juvenile males are housed together, some begin to develop the characteristic secondary sex characteristics at age four, resulting in the massive body size, large cheek flanges and laryngeal sac, while others stay juvenile looking but grow to nearly adult size. I thỉnk the difference in development might be due to variation in the effects of captive stress, mostly from the presence of other adult males. When we separate the arrested individuals from the rest, they complete their maturation to adulthood rather quickly." As an Assistant Curator at the Smithsonian National Zoo in Washington D.Č., I was in charge of the care and health of the primates and pandas, and thought this sounded like an interesting project. "I think we can do that Anne. Actually, I have also noticed those developmental differences in juvenile orangutans and always wondered why they occur." "Good, then you'll know what to look for. I need information on their housing situation, diet, medical history, growth, behavior patterns, and as they go through puberty, flange and laryngeal sac development, social interactions, and semen quality if you manage to collect that. I would also like you to collect fresh urine samples from each individual periodically. The lab at the Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (CRES) at the San Diego Zoo will run hormone assays on the urine for me. I'll send you a spreadsheet for keeping records on each animal. You can send the urine samples and spreadsheet data to CRES for analysis. I really appreciate your help." Questions 1. Explain the normal hormonal control of male sexual development by the hypothalamus pituitary-gonad connections.
