Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethological studies involve observing and analyzing the natural behavior of animals in their natural habitat. Since chimpanzees are native to the forests of central Africa, conducting an ethological study would require observing them in their natural habitat. A zoo would not be the best choice as the behavior of animals in captivity may differ from those in the wild. Your home or a lab devoted to psychological testing would not provide the necessary environment for studying wild chimpanzees.
