| From Rilke to enrichment: strategies for felids at the Salzburg Zoo | |
| 1997 Verhandlungsbericht des.Internationalen Symposiums ber die Erkrankungen der Zoo- und Wildtiere (38): 121-124 | |
Environmental or behavioural enrichment have in recent years become household terms within the zoo community. This paper summarises the strategies developed and implemented for felids in the Salzburg Zoo. In all felid species it was possible to increase the daily activity budget and induce novel previously not observed behavioural patterns. Within the described strategies two are to be considered particularly successful: scatter feeding in all species and the provision of live fish as prey to the jaguars. |
