The keeping of zoo animals has become a central tool in the conservation of some of the world's most fascinating, yet threatened, species. What are the key problems they face in trying to feed, breed, and keep healthy the animals in their care? But how do zoos operate on a day-to-day basis?
Zoo Animals: How can they play their part in conserving biodiversity?Zoo Animals: Behaviour, Management and Welfare addresses the key questions surrounding the keeping of exotic animals in captivity, and 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, and teaching, the authors blend together theory with a broad range of both mammalian and non-mammalian examples to give a highly-readable overview of this burgeoning field.
