The bears have a cave, a pool, and a cliff to climb upon. These movements are similar to what the animals would do in the wild. We place food in creative places throughout the animal's habitat, which facilitates foraging behavior. Instead of just setting out a dish of food for the muskrats, we spread the food around in the exhibit. We also make shish kabobs for animals with radishes, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables to place throughout the exhibits, even under water.
Grapes frozen in an ice ring are also a big hit with many of the animals.
Just plain ice cubes are a treat. We provide toys and other objects to occupy the animals. You may have noticed stumps in the animal yards in the Farmyard. The goats even jump on them. One object should not be left with an animal for too long.
