  1. 1. The effect of environmental enrichment on the behaviour of meerkats, banded mongooses and dwarf mongooses in human care.

    Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

    Författare :Alejandro Berrio Pozo; [2020]
    Nyckelord :Meerkat; banded mongoose; dwarf mongoose; enrichment; foraging;

    Sammanfattning : Animals in captivity can be deprived of performing some of their natural behaviours.
