Abstract
The reproductive adaptability of newly acquired female feral rhesus monkeys was evaluated by comparison of their menstrual records and progesterone levels with those of females in captivity for 3 1/2 yr. Housing of the animals under conditions that simulated conditions of the breeding season in the wild resulted in a rapid adjustment with minimal periods of amenorrhea or anovulation. Both groups of monkeys were similar with respect to menstruation and menstrual cycle length and progesterone levels.
