Support The Texas Zoo Enrichment Program!!!

 

 

What is Enrichment and why do we do it?

 

The dictionary definition of enrichment is “to make rich, or richer,” or “to better improve”.  

Enrichment is an attempt to make the animals environment simulating or challenging

thorough the use of toys, scents, puzzles and anything else that might provide novelty.

In this way, the zoo and its keepers help to keep the animals as mentally and physically

healthy as possible.
