Holiday-themed Enrichment Activity at Franklin Park Zoo
This is the perfect opportunity to celebrate the season with the incredible animals that call the Zoo home! Watch as the animals explore their exhibits in search of special treats hidden inside boxes or hung from trees.
Environmental enrichment encourages animals to use their natural abilities and behaviors to interact with their environment. It increases activity and offers an opportunity for animals to make choices and experience new things like they would in the wild. Whether an animal prefers to forage through leaf litter for seeds, burrow into the ground to hide, or stalk and chase its prey, its behavior is taken into consideration when creating enrichment.
Enrichment can be offered in a variety of different ways. The out of place items that you may see in the exhibits are all means in which we try to stimulate the animals. Zookeepers use novelty foods, sounds, smells, boxes, bags, and toys to provide activities that excite all the senses.
