Halloween River Otters! (habitat enrichment vid)

Have an otterly amazing Halloween! ; )

Seattle Aquarium River Otters having some Halloween fun!

Environmental enrichment is the alteration of an animal's environment (habitat) in a way to make it more stimulating (or complex) to that animal. This technique is used to improve the health and well-being of captive animals. Zoos and aquaria use this technique to help to conserve the animal in it's entirety, behaviorally as well as genetically.

See Enrichment for more info!
