The Wichita group, however, do not see the hole and stay within the viveiro. Maria is first animal out @ 1300 hours. By 1340 all animals out except Pepe who moves slowly and seems confused. 

Maria alarm calling: The group starts chirping.

The Wichita group are remarkable for their lack of micromanipulation. They show almost no exploratory behavior in small holes & under bark. Their locomotion is surprisingly good, considering their most recent environment; NZP quarantine.

They have, however, no social behavior. Maria is an outlier & doesnt interact w/ the group. The young male Juan with the stub tail begs, steals, etc food from everyone.
