The keeping of zoo animals is a central tool in the conservation of
some of the world's most fascinating, yet threatened, species. But
how do zoos operate on a day-to-day basis? What are the key
challenges they face in trying to feed, manage, and keep healthy
the animals in their care? 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 and use an evidence
based approach 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. Zoo Animals:
Behaviour, Management, and Welfare is the ideal resource for anyone
needing a thorough grounding in this subject, whether as a student
or as a zoo professional. Online Resource Centre The Online
Resource Centre to accompany Zoo Animals features: For all readers:
* Updates - surveys of key developments in the field * Multiple
choice questions with instant feedback, to aid self-assessment For
