Did you get everything you wanted from Santa?
Our Animal Ambassadors certainly did!
The keepers wrapped up some treats for the wolves, small mammals, birds and more. This is a great way to provide enrichment for the animals in our care. They are exposed to different textures, smells, tastes and visual stimuli. The keepers stay with each animal as they unwrap their gifts to make sure the paper and cardboard are cleaned up and are not eaten. The presents also provide an opportunity for the animals to figure out how to get to the treats inside. This promotes problem solving and natural instincts that they would be using in the wild!
