With the increase of mixed species exhibits in zoos, targeting enrichment for individual species may be problematic. Often, mammals may be the primary targets of enrichment, yet other species that share their environment (such as birds) wil...
Circadian rhythm of salivary cortisol secretion in female zoo-kept African elephants (Loxodonta africana) [0.03%]
