Catch
a sneak peak of Zola showing off his dance moves in a behind-the-scenes
video shot by zookeeper Ashley Orr. You may remember Zola when he was a
youngster from the viral video of him break dancing at The Calgary Zoo,
but there’s a lot more to this behavior than you may think.
Enrichment
helps enhance the environment and lives of animals, like Zola, by
providing them with mental and physical stimulation to increase natural
behaviors. Enrichment can take many forms, but for this spunky great
ape, it means playing and spinning in his favorite blue pool while off
habitat!
