I am still busy on deadline on a few projects and so thought you might like this video of wild cats enjoying the environmental enrichment–pumpkins.
It is sure to bring a smile to your face and is a reminder that animals need some diversity in their lives–whether or not they are wild or tame.
I enjoy seeing people work with any type of animal.
In my early days I did a lot of things with different reptiles and in many zoos training is standard for husbandry care.
What you see in this video is luring–where the animal follows the food lure but you can chain behaviors together so the animal follows a sequence if you take the time to do so.
Also, people constantly mislabel their animals–can you tell if this is a tortoise or a turtle?
