Enrichment

The owl monkeys at the DuMond Conservancy are kept pretty busy all night long foraging for insects so they lead pretty enriched lives as is. However, we are always striving to add to their quality of life and consequently, we present them with exciting activities (enrichment) as frequently as possible. Any enrichment activities are designed to stimulate natural behaviors. 

“What’s this?” Here’s curious Connie forging in her “enrichment” for treats. We give our monkeys activities that stimulate their natural behaviors.
