đ Pumpkins to spark the animals’ curiosity
Did you know pumpkins aren’t just for Halloween decorations?
At Zoo d’AmnĂ©ville, they also provide enrichment for our animals!
Enrichment means introducing something new into an animal’s environment to spark curiosity and encourage natural behaviors.
During fall break, our animal care teams will offer pumpkin-themed enrichment to many species throughout the zoo.
Come watch some surprising moments and see how the animals explore, handle, and interact with these new objects.
Every species reacts differentlyâcome see for yourself!
