KUCÍRKOVÁ, Kateřina
Enrichment is one of many tools used in zoos to create a komplex and diverse environment that enhances natural behavior. This work was carried out in Zoo Ohrada, Hluboká nad Vltavou at a couple of wildcat (Felis silvestris). The aim was to compare and evaluate the behavior of cats at the time with enrichment and control observation; enrichments should stimulate animals to active behavior. The food enrichment initiate interest, increased period of feeding behavior, the movement range and decreased period of rest; however the hanging food on the tree significantly increased aggression in both animals. The rag ball did not induce the expected playful behavior.
