Enrichment is camouflaged as natural objects to keep the environment looking as much like a natural habitat as possible. There are some zoos left who use brightly colored children’s toys for the animals’ entertainment, but that practice is becoming a remnant of a bygone era.

Zoos cannot provide unlimited supplies of trees and therefore come up with alternative ways to encourage the natural behaviour. This ‘giraffe tongue obstacle course’, in the shape of a log, helps giraffes practise the natural dexterity of their tongues and keeps them engaged with the food longer, as they would be in the wild.

The tools are designed to create challenging tasks for the animals that mimic those in the wild. Orangutans are tool users who look for clever ways to get to the prize: ants, honey or other snacks.

Owens: ‘Contractors leave large amounts of leftover PVC pipes at building sites and we are on it like dung beetles.’ The materials are cheap, the biggest cost in the design is the labour. The giraffe feeding log takes about four hours to create.
