animal sense
desire to learn
creativity and innovation
compassion
;what are the clients in order
animals, zookeepers, public
primary concern in enclosure design
animal ecology, biology, behavior
is the key to managing species because it will tell you about the animal’s diet, housing and behaviour, which eventually will provide clues on the animal’s ecology and proper care.
identification
Animals need to be identified per ___ and __.
species
individually
differentiate the types of identification
Passive Identification uses animal’s innate markings and is commonly used to identify species.
Active Identification are marks that are placed on the animal for identification purposes.
The animal’s pychological needs are addressed through
enrichment
most common form of enrichment
food enrichment
conditions under which individuals are spatially restricted with respect to their natural spatial patterns or those of their progeny, are removed from many of their natural ecological processes, and are managed on some level by humans.
Captivity / Ex situ:
a live organism at the point when it comes under the authority of the de- cision-making body or agent responsible for deciding where to place the individual in the long term.
Confiscated, Live Organism:
how is Consignment origin difer from Country of origin:
the country from which an organism was transported prior to seizure
the country in which a specimen/individual was taken from the wild, bred in captivity or artificially propagated
differentiate reinforcement and reintroduction
the intentional movement and release of an organism into an existing population to boost the populations of threatened species in the wild
the intentional movement and release of an organism inside its indigenous range from which it has disappeared
return of the confiscated individual to its country of origin
repatriation
is the human-mediated movement of living organisms from one area, with release in another, including reintroduction and reinforcement projects
translocation
two types of poikilotherms
heliothermic
ectothermic
differentiate heliothermic by ectothermic
heliothermic (takes in heat by basking) & ectothermic (takes in heat by lying on hot surfaces).
