1. Housing animals in a varied environment with much stimulation leads to changes in neuronal structure. 2. A modern approach for improving the lives of captive animals involves providing them with complex environments that respond to their behaviors, an approach termed environmental enrichment. 3. Until very recently, with regard to animal exploitation, zoos were actually criticized. 4. Early attempts at behavioral enrichment were criticized because they sometimes resembled stereotypic behaviors. 5. As some zoos became more concerned with their roles in conservation education, they began to organize their animals into more ecologically authentic groupings, reflecting their distributions in nature, e.g., lions and zebras grouped together; an approach termed naturalistic enclosures. 6. Historically, inadequate traditional zoos featured only a single individual, or at most, a few representatives of any one species--an approach termed "stamp collecting." This frequently led to limited genetic diversity. 7. Many small, exotic felids (e.g., sand cats) frequently exhibit poor reproduction in captivity. Researchers have determined that one source of this problem was inadequate environmental enrichment. 8. The preceding reproductive problem probably arose from a specific type of learning characteristic of infant animals, wherein they learn to recognize their mothers, a process called imprinting. 9. Prolonged stress can result in all of the following symptoms except increased appetite. 10. Stereotypic behavior, a behavior that was once thought to be pathological, is now considered by some behaviorists to represent a captive animal's attempt to manage overly abundant time in a barren, unresponsive environment.
