They must also have comprehensive knowledge of captive animal behavior along Second to that may be a combination of behavioral training and environmental enrichment.

Growing recognition of the complexity of animals' physical, social, and psychological lives in the wild has led both zookeepers and the zoo-going public to call for higher environmental standards for animals in captivity. Competent enrichment managers must have a keen understanding of the behavioral ecology and sociobiology of their animals in order to elicit species-specific and appropriate natural behaviors from their charges. With the help of specially adapted eye tracking equipment they are hoping to explain some of the mysteries of the visual brain and improve the lives of captive bred animals.
