   Nyckelord :Activity budget; barren enclosure; captivity; feeding enrichment; naturalistic enclosure; reintroduction; social structure; ex situ conservation;

   Sammanfattning : When breeding wild species in captivity, the animals may gradually become more adapted to captivity and therefore less suited for reintroduction which is the ultimate goal for some species. This study measured the activity budget of European bison (Bison bonasus) in six enclosures in Sweden with the aim to find out how the characteristics of the enclosures – with and without pasture - influenced the activity budget.

3. 2.  Do enclosure characteristics affect anti-predator behaviour in the European bison (Bison bonasus)?

   Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Författare :Annika Hofling; [2009]
   Nyckelord :Auditory; behaviour; enclosure; European bison; olfactory; predator; visual;

   Sammanfattning : Animals raised in captivity often fail to express appropriate anti-predator behaviour when reintroduced into the wild. The European bison (Bison bonasus) is a species that was close to extinction in the early 20th century but was saved in the last moment by intense captive breeding and subsequent reintroduction into the wild.
