Project Title
Tapir Enrichment for the Houston Zoo
Design Challenge
Animals living in the wild are stimulated on an everyday basis hunting or scavenging for food. However, those living in an enclosure face a shortage of opportunities to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. This generates a problem for both the animals and the zoo. Our team is tasked with designing an enrichment device to mentally and physically engage the Baird’s tapirs living at the Houston Zoo.
