    No Such Thing as Too Much B.E.

    Behavioral Enrichment (B.E. for short) is a crucial part of a keeper’s responsibilities while taking care of the animals here at the Zoo, but B.E. is not limited just to the keepers. B.E. can be anything that stimulates the five senses and elicits natural behaviors. Things like the sound of music, smells of another species, seeing something colorful, touching a different texture, and tasting.Dive deeper into the topic of behavior enrichment as we uncover the answers to all your burning questions like: What is B.E.? How is it used at the Zoo? Can my pets at home use it? And more!Listen now!The Phoenix Zoo is the only zoo in the Valley accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and is a non-profit zoological park, serving 1.4 million guests annually. The Zoo is home to more than 3,000 animals, many of which are endangered and threatened species.
