Tables of Observations

Hi okay so far I have this. Just typed it out.
Ying has the macaque behaviour (BT) and nat has the macaque behaviour (WELL).
Then we need make one more human behaviour (WELL) one. And then 2 other tables comparing the similarities and differences seen in human behaviour in both sites and macaque behaviour, again in both sites.
So we can do that next week. Or first week of June hols I guess since have that IHG thing next Wednesday.
Yeap. Oh and need collate our data collected from the interviews. Is there a certain format? Idk. So yea laterlater then see how. Yea here's the table. Nat, Ying, can upload yours here(:

Okay here:
