Enrichment of a blind monkey (1998)

Pastorello, L.

Abstract

The [blind] male was more interested in 'finishing the puzzle' than eating the food in it. He often dropped the food he retrieved on the ground and ate it later. ... It may take a little more thought to create puzzles that better fit the handicap, but animals with disabilities may be in more need of enrichment .
