- #ZooEnrichment: Green Tree Monitor at the Smithsonian's National Zoo
- Description
- At the Reptile Discovery Center, our green tree monitor lizard is following the scent of its prey. Keeper Lauren Augustine hid food in a log with holes of different sizes and depths. To find (and eat) his meal, the lizard must problem-solve using his sight, smell and tactile senses. This puzzle feeder is part of the Zoo's enrichment program, which encourages animals to use their natural behaviors-- and their minds-- in exciting ways.
