Poster 16
Enrichment Counts
This olive green poster displays a large non-human primate enclosure with the walls shown by gradationally different shades of green rather than bars or plexiglass panels. Within the enclosure eight monkeys are engaged in species specific enrichment activities. The activities include using a foraging board, grooming each other, swinging from white plastic piping at the top of the cage and using a mirror that is tethered to the outside of the enclosure. At the bottom in the foreground is a monkey walking to the left side of the enclosure where a caregiver in complete personal protective equipment is depositing bananas through an escape proof pass through window. The subtitle is, “A Program Sponsored by The NIH Animal Care and Use Committee, 496-5424.” The OACU and the NIH logos are also shown.
