All About Animals
Create Animal Enrichment
Animals in the wild spend lots of time and energy finding food, building homes, defending their territories and escaping predators. Since most of these resources are provided for Zoo animals, we offer creative ways for them to use their natural energy. That’s where enrichment comes in!

Environmental enrichment encourages animals to use their natural abilities and behaviors to interact with their environment. Some creatures like to stalk and chase their prey, while others prefer burrowing underground to hide. Here at the Zoo, we create activities that stimulate the senses and encourage this natural behavior.
Make your own puzzle box
Though your house cat may be 400 pounds smaller than our lions and tiger, domestic and big cats have similar needs. Both creatures have a natural instinct to hunt for their food, so creating enrichment activities that encourage cats’ curiosity and hunting skills are purr-fect for your feline friend. Here's how!
