Feeding enrichment for red-handed tamarins

Access to a 'feeding basket' [stuffed with straw mixed with their normal feed and hung from a perch] and suspended sticks smeared with acacia gum increased feeding activities while reducing the incidence of stereotypy [primarily somersaulting], hyperactivity, coprophagy and excessive...

The effects of enrichment structures on captive gorilla behavior

Tree-like structures were constructed in two of the outdoor gorilla exhibits at Zoo Atlanta. .. Juveniles used the structures significantly more than did adult animals (Mann-Whitney U = 3.0, p = 0.01). However, certain behaviors, such as feeding and object...

Gorilla behavior in response to systematic alternation between zoo enclosures

Gorillas were more likely to increase exhibit use and visibility to zoo visitors during a 4-day novel phase compared to subsequent days in the exhibit. Regularly alternating gorillas between zoo exhibits is a form of environmental enrichment that can increase...
