Gorilla husbandry/enrichment at the Dallas Zoo (1990)

Stevens, A.

Abstract

Unintrusive husbandry techniques during cleaning and feeding, such as shifting animals, allow keepers to easily incorporate environmental enrichment components during their normal routine. To create a stimulating and diverse environment, keepers supply simple, economic [unspecified] items which allow the gorillas to modify their immediate surroundings, and exhibit more of their natural behavior.
