The keeping of zoo animals has become a central tool in the conservation of some of the worlds most fascinating yet threatened species. But how do zoos operate on a day-to-day basis? What are the key problems zoos face in trying to feed breed & keep healthy the animals in their care? How do they play their part in conserving biodiversity? Zoo Animals: Behaviour Management & Welfare addresses the key questions surrounding the keeping of zoo animals & reveals how we can apply our ever-growing understanding of animal behaviour to ensure zoo animals are managed as effectively as possible. Drawing on their extensive experience of zoo research practice & teaching the authors blend together theory with a broad range of both mammalian & non-mammalian examples to give a highly-readable overview of this burgeoning field. Zoo Animals: Behaviour Management & Welfare is the ideal resource for anyone needing a thorough grounding in this subject whether as a student or as a zoo professional.
