The cownose ray (Rhinoptera bonasus) faces vulnerability primarily due to unregulated fishing, resource overexploitation, and habitat degradation. Consequently, individuals maintained under human care play a pivotal role in species conservation, particularly when their welfare is prioritized. Achieving optimal aquarium settings relies heavily on effective management practices, notably environmental enrichment. However, research the efficacy of such techniques for rays remains limited. Thus,...
Animals kept by zoos may express abnormal behaviours that are indicators of poor welfare. Environmental enrichment is a technique providing items to animals stimulate the expression normal behaviours. The aim this study was evaluate effects simple environmental in reduction behaviour captive‐born G reater rhea R hea americana at B elo H orizonte Z oo, south‐eastern razil. As enrichment, fruit and vegetables were scatter fed group seven birds from A pril S eptember 2009, recorded using scan...
Environmental enrichment is a technique applied to enhance welfare of captive animals by introducing items that create complex and stimulate enclosure. In poor environments, can exhibit abnormal stereotypic behaviors due boredom stress. Animals behaving normally with high levels are suitable preferred participate in conservation efforts such as reintroductions. The aim this study was evaluate the effects environmental on behavior endangered Lear's Macaws held at Belo Horizonte Zoo, Brazil....
Abnormal behaviors (e.g., feather plucking and pacing) are commonly observed in captive animals. Environmental enrichment techniques have been used to improve animal welfare by promoting the reduction of such stimulating display typical behaviors. The present study examined effects environmental a pair endangered Golden Parakeet (Guaruba guarouba, Psittacidae), which presented feather-plucking behavior. Diferent objects were birds between February July 2008. Behavioral analyses performed...
Studies on environmental enrichment for captive bearded dragons (Pogona vitticeps) are still very scarce in the literature, but they of utmost importance search quality life these animals when under human care. Environmental items should be inclusive, allowing disabled to explore them and providing good experiences. Therefore, this study aimed evaluate food strategies increase foraging behavior non-disabled dragons. This work was carried out with six adult dragons, three which had one limb...
