dc.description.abstract	Cataloguing of individual spontaneous tool activities in gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans has shown that there are many common features in using of tools among great apes both under laboratory conditions, or in captivity in general, and under wild living conditions. We have demonstrated how markedly, even basically, the quality and quantity of tool activities can bee influenced by the equipment of a given ZOO and availability of the object suitable for manipulations and potential tool using or tool making. Plastic boxes become something like universal tools for gorilla from ZOO Praha. Perhaps it is a raising tool tradition also in Prague gorillas, however, this tradition has apparently no analogy in wild conditions. The plastic box using becomes ritualized in many cases, in agonistic behaviour for example, where the using of boxes is a transmitter of an aggression of as an drumming amplifier. We have found in our study that tool activities became a part of various types of behaviour. They usually occur during feeding, aggression, games or other play behaviour, and during social and comfort behaviour as well.	en_EN
