Homework Due 30^th May

Go to the Auckland Zoo’s homepage -  http://www.aucklandzoo.co.nz  
Take some time to explore this website.

Tasks:

·         Read the zoo’s definition of what enrichment is.  Now write the definition in your own words.

·         Now write your reaction to these attempts.
                           o   What are the zookeepers doing well to benefit the animals? (3 minimum)
                           o   What are some suggestions you have? (3 minimum)
·         Next view the enrichment section discussing domestic pets (link at bottom of enrichment page).
           o   Have you done any of them? Which?
                           o   Which would you like to do? Why? (3 minimum)

Extra for Experts:

o   Choose an animal then design and label an enclosure for them.  Think carefully about the environment you create (materials, public viewing, size, other species, numbers, protection etc).  Also be thinking about what enrichments you provide your animal.

You could always check out other zoo's webpages from around the world - Singapore, London, Sydney, San Diego, Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo.
