Species by species, this book provides descriptions of normal behaviour, including reproductive behaviour, parenting, communication and social behaviour. Information on environmental needs helps caregivers to adapt the environment to the animal, thereby promoting normal behaviour and avoiding problems. Separate chapters highlight learning behaviour, animal welfare and behavioural problems and their treatment.
This volume is recommended for veterinarians and behaviourists as well as animal scientists and anyone caring for exotic animals in captivity. Students and professionals alike can benefit from this book.
