Enrichment
Our enrichment provides guidelines for generating the best health readings for each of our residents species. Beyond that, it looks at each species and even individual animal's physical fitness, mental state and overall health.
Reusing & Recycling
Sometimes, old recyclable items can be used to keep our animals entertained and to bring out their natural behaviors such as hunting and playing. The Zoo will recycle many common items and place them in the exhibit.
