Enrichment is an important part of animal care. It is made up of the many ways in which keepers provide zoo animals with opportunities to do something with their time, giving the animal mental stimulation and physical exercise. Enrichment also gives animals choices and some control over their environment. “Enrichment programs are carefully planned and science-based, just as nutrition or preventive health care programs are created following rigorous scientific study of animals in the wild and captivity.” – Interview by Jordan Carlton Schaul with San Diego Zoo’s Animal Enrichment Expert – Dr. Lance Miller
Strollers and cameras welcome!
