(A) Schematic drawing of the experimental paddock for the pre-release training and inter-individual behavioral variation assessment at Laboratory of Applied Ethology (LABET/UESC), modified from Nogueira et al. (2014). (B) Schematic drawing of the pre-release enclosure at the Wild Animals Rehabilitation Center of the Brazilian Environmental Agency (CETAS/IBAMA) in Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil. Both enclosures included a corral-trap, marked by a hexagonal symbol, used for animal capture when necessary. The refuge area of the experimental paddock and the vegetated section of the pre-release enclosure were densely filled with shrubs, significantly obstructing animal visibility.
