ENRICHMENT

In the wild, chimps are stimulated by the plants and animals in their natural environment. But in captivity, intelligent, inquisitive, and active chimps can easily be affected by boredom-which can compromise their overall health. It’s for this reason that chimp caretakers like Gloria Grow provide enrichment for her resident chimps. Food, toys, and activities are all forms of enrichment.
