Bobcat (Lynx rufus) Breeding in Captivity: The Importance of Environmental Enrichment
Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, 2011 Environmental enrichment is an improvement in the biological functioning of nonhuman animals in captivity resulting from modifications to their environment; however, specifying appropriate and practical measures of enrichment is problematic. This study analyzes the behavior of 4 bobcats (Lynx rufus) in the Jerez Zoo before and after the application of ...
