    Thirty Years Later: Enrichment Practices for Captive Mammals à Julia M

    Zoo Biology 29 : 303–316 (2010) RESEARCH ARTICLE Thirty Years Later: Enrichment Practices for Captive Mammals à Julia M. Hoy, Peter J. Murray, and Andrew Tribe School of Animal Studies, The University of Queensland, Gatton Campus, Queensland, Australia Environmental enrichment of captive mammals has been steadily evolving over the past thirty years. For this process to continue, it is first necessary to define current enrichment practices and then identify the factors that limit enhancing the quality and quantity of enrichment, as well as the evaluation of its effectiveness. With the objective of obtaining this information, an international multi- institutional questionnaire survey was conducted with individuals working with zoo-housed mammals. Results of the survey showed that regardless of how important different types of enrichment were perceived to be, if providing them was particularly time-consuming, they were not made available to captive mammals as frequently as those requiring less staff time and effort. The groups of mammals provided with enrichment most frequently received it on average fewer than four times per day, resulting in less than two hours per day spent by each animal care staff member on tasks related to enrichment. The time required for staff to complete other husbandry tasks was the factor most limiting the implementation and evaluation of enrichment. The majority of survey respon- dents agreed that they would provide more enrichment and carry out more evaluation of enrichment if it was manageable to do so. The results of this study support the need for greater quantity, variety, frequency, and evaluation of enrichment provided to captive mammals housed in zoos without impinging on available staff time.

Collectively they employ approximately 3,000 full time workers. The main job roles in the zoological sector are animal keeping, veterinary work, conservation, research and educational work.

For example, an animal keeper will also be part of conservation, research and education work, as well as limited veterinary work in some cases. 1 Roles of Zoos in the 21st Century Zoo are now more than just a good day out to see animals, zoo have a role to play in education, conservation and research.
  • Activity Pack: African Animals

    Activity Pack: African Animals

    Activity Pack: African Animals This pack is designed to provide teachers with information to help you lead a trip to Colchester Zoo focusing on African Animals How to Use this Pack: This African Animal Tour Guide pack was designed to help your students learn about African animals and prepare for a trip to Colchester Zoo. The pack starts with suggested African animals to visit at Colchester Zoo including a map of where to see them and which encounters/feeds to attend. The next section contains fact sheets about these animals. This includes general information about the type of animal (e.g. where they live, what they eat, etc.) and specific information about individuals at Colchester Zoo (e.g. their names, how to tell them apart, etc.). This information will help you plan your day, and your route around the zoo to see the most African Animals. We recommend all teachers read through this pack and give copies to adult helpers visiting with your school trip. The rest of the pack is broken into “Pre-Trip”, “At the Zoo”, and “Post-Trip”. Each of these sections start with ideas to help teachers think of ways to relate African animals to other topics. There are also a variety of pre-made activities and worksheets included in this pack. Activities are typically hands on ‘games’ that introduce and reinforce concepts. Worksheets are typically paper hand-outs teachers can photocopy and have pupils complete independently. Teachers can pick and choose which they want to use since all the activities/worksheets can be used independently (you can just use one worksheet if you wish; you don’t need to complete the others).
