Environmental enrichment for XiBao and XiLan

2017-02-03

  Environmental enrichment is a kind of decoration for giant pandas’ surrounding. It can improve environmental quality and increase biological functionsand let the pandas better adapt to the environment.

 

  There are many different ways to enrich an environment. Today we just hide giant panda’s favorites--- apple somewhere with the purpose of making it more difficult for pandas to find food, increasing the activity level, and constantly exploring their territory.
The advantage of this way is enhancing giant panda’s physical constitution on the one hand, on the other hand, preventing stereotypical behaviors.
 

 


Xi Bao find an apple and eat it in a comfortable way.

 


Xi Bao easily find the apples in the other corners.

 


There is an apple in the pool. Let me take a breath. Go.
