Why Do We Need Animal Enrichment?
As animal caretakers we need to provide mental and physical challenges in order for animals to thrive and develop.
Learning Goals
• Students will understand the importance of positive reinforcement in animal training and enrichment.
• Students will advance their knowledge about living organisms and understand the relevance, purpose and process of scientific investigations.
• Students will be able to design an animal enrichment device or idea based upon characteristics of the animal and its inherited traits and learned behaviors.
• Students will explore career opportunities available in zoos and aquariums.
