Wild animals in human care often outlive their wild counterparts due to modern care and welfare programs, resulting in an increasing population of older animals. This handbook is dedicated to their well-being. As an innovative expert publication, it encompasses all aspects of professional care, including behavior, ethics, environmental enrichment, training, veterinary care, nutrition, and habitat design.
Every animal has unique preferences, physical and emotional needs. As animals age, their behavior, usage of space, and interactions with carers may change. The aging process and the death of an individual can have a profound impact on their group and human carers.
This book consolidates the best practices for supporting and assessing optimal aging animal well-being. It provides practical and science-informed approaches and philosophies regarding the care of aging wild animals in zoos, aquariums, sanctuaries, universities, and laboratories in a single source. This is an invaluable reference for veterinarians, animal care professionals, animal welfare researchers, and students, as well as anyone with an interest in animal care.
Personal stories and beautiful images of aging individuals grace the beginning of each chapter, serving as a reminder that our actions must always prioritize the animal's best interests and be at the core of their care.
