Enrichment Day in the Animal Forest May 23, 2009

Environmental enrichment is the process of providing new smells, tastes, objects and activities for zoo animals. These things frequently bring out "playful" and natural behaviors. Enrichment Day gives you an opportunity to discover our secrets to keeping the animals healthy and happy. See how our keepers train the bears and otters using enrichment techniques. Join in the "Forage for Fun" game for your chance to win prizes. Enrichment Day is a fun day for our animals and for you. When it's over, you can take some of these ideas home to use with your own pets!
