Enrichment
Captive animals deserve an environment which is rich in social opportunity,
mental stimulation, and physical challenges. By providing our animals with daily
enrichments we are able to enhance their captive life styles. Enrichment can be
described as any effort to change the nature of work by making it more interesting
or challenging to the worker. Environmental enrichment is defined by some as the
provision of stimuli which promote the expression of species-appropriate behavioral
and mental activities in an under-stimulating environment. By definition, enrichment
is an animal principle, it is the simple act of making something more meaningful.
The term enrichment could be applied to anything that seeks to enhance the
qualityof captive animal care by identifying and providing the environmental
stimuli necessary for optimal psychological and physiological well-being.
