• W565660552 abstract "There is evidence that the presence of the visiting public affects thebehaviour of zoo-housed mammals. Understanding the effect of visitors isimportant in improving animal welfare, achieving zoo conservation goals,increasing visitor education/entertainment, and facilitating interpretation of dataon zoo animal biology. A series of studies and experiments focusing on the effectof zoo visitors on captive mammal behaviour is presented. The influence ofvisitor density on a range of primates and large carnivores is examined.Methodological concerns regarding the operational definition of visitor density inthe literature are expressed and a clarification of terms which may be helpfulwhen comparing previous research is provided. Visitor noise data, using anobjective measure of the variable, and its relationship to visitor density are alsopresented.External and internal visual barriers between visitors and zoo animals werehypothesised to moderate the visitor effect and enrich the environment of thestudy groups. Camouflage nets mounted on the outside of enclosure viewingwindows had little impact on primate or felid behaviour, with the exception of theSumatran orangutan group, who showed a trend toward decreased social play inthe presence of the external barrier. Polar bear behaviour showed evidence of anenriched environment, with trends toward increased levels of swimming anddecreased levels of resting. An internal visual barrier, which prevented visitorsfrom having visual contact with the golden lion tamarins when the nonhumanprimates were behind it, was also tested and elicited more extensive trends towardbehavioural change than did the nets.Both Sumatran orangutans and zoo visitors were provided with a similarpuzzle feeder in an effort to enrich the orangutan enclosure, and improve thevisitor experience. It was hypothesised that the orangutans might be stimulatedby watching visitors manipulate the device, but this did not occur. Orangutan useof the puzzle feeder within their enclosure was also unaffected.Olfactory stimuli were introduced into primate and felid enclosures andvisitor viewing areas to investigate the role olfaction may play in the visitor effect.Although olfactory stimuli had an extensive significant effect on the behaviour ofthe study groups when it was introduced into the enclosure, there was little changewhen visitors were associated with the olfactory stimuli which suggest there maynot be an olfactory visitor effect in primates or felids.The effect of visitors on petting zoo-housed mixed-breed goats, llama, andVietnamese pot-bellied pigs was studied and compared to their behaviour withoutthe presence of visitors. The goats were unaffected and the llama showed only atrend toward decreased levels of sitting in the presence of visitors. TheVietnamese pot-bellied pigs were significantly affected by the presence ofvisitors, exhibiting decreased inactivity and social behaviour. The hypothesis thata sustained absence of visitors would…" @default.
