scholars is that the health of zoo animals in Britain needs specific attention as a way to counter the increasing push for the banning of zoos.

The most common causes addressed are visitor interactions‚ types of enclosures‚ and a lack of opportunities for wild behavior. There are scholars such as G.R. Hosey and Gareth Davey who both feel that zoo visitors have a strong impact on animals’ health. Davey argues that visitors

Termite Handedness Summary: Animal behavior is the underlying concept of how living organisms act when presented a certain situation or environment. Understanding animal behavior in simple organisms such as termites can give us basic insight into how animal behavior works. In our experiment we tested termite “handedness” – if termites prefer to turn left or right. We did this by placing a termite in an ink path with a fork in it which would cause the termite to choose between going left or right

Lab 11: Animal Behavior Introduction Ethology is the study of animal behavior. There are two specific categories of behavior: learned ad innate. Orientation behaviors place the animal in their specific environment. Animals move away from sensory input in taxis where as behavior is the response to sensory input. Stimulus’ of light‚ heat‚ moisture‚ sound‚ or chemicals are mostly found in taxis. Kinesis is the movement that does not result in orientation with stimulus. When animals respond to each

Zoos are more detrimental to animals than they are good for them‚ even though there are conservation efforts and educational purposes for having animals in captivity. The negative aspects far outweigh any positive effects when it comes to having animals in captivity due to poor living conditions‚ failure to educate‚ and psychological
