The Importance of Animal Enrichment in Zoos

Veterinarians and animal care specialists in zoos work to ensure animals stay healthy by providing regular checkups, balanced diets, and preventative care. Zoos also conduct medical research to improve care practices for all species.

Enrichment is crucial for zoo animals' mental and physical well-being. Providing diverse stimuli through toys, food puzzles, or new objects allows animals to engage in natural behaviors and reduces stress.

Zookeepers are vital for the day-to-day care of animals, including feeding, cleaning enclosures, and monitoring animal health. They build strong bonds with animals, ensuring their needs are met and they remain happy in their environment.
