Cover Story: Ongoing research on the effectiveness of enrichment at the species, group, and individual levels is beneficial to our growing understanding of animal welfare and behaviour for animals housed in human care. Expanding the enrichment opportunities offered helps to encourage diverse behaviours. The present study aimed to examine the behavioural impact of novel food and non-food enrichment strategies on two zoo-housed prides of African lions at Orana Wildlife Park, New Zealand. The results show that, while both forms of enrichment had an impact, the effects on behaviour varied with the type of enrichment used. A focus on specific outcomes of various novel enrichment strategies is essential to expand the efficacy of enrichment programs for future efforts to improve the wellbeing of animals. View this paper
