The daily activity pattern and use of space of 3 brown bears (Ursus arctos) were used for long-term macroevaluation of enrichment to compare the baseline and enrichment phases. Focal sampling methods were used for data collection, and instantaneous scans were made at 2-min intervals during 15 sessions of 1 hr for each animal during the 2 study periods. The enrichment devices were categorized as feeding, occupational, and sensorial. The long-term macroevaluation in 3 bears showed statistically significant differences in some types of activity but not in others. There were also statistically significant differences for the use of space in 4 of the 8 zones in which the enclosures were divided. A more homogenous pattern in the use of space was only observed during the enrichment phase in the old female. The 3 brown bears followed different patterns concerning the enrichment program.13 p.application/pdfeng(c) Taylor and Francis, 2015Óssos (Mamífers)Parcs zoològicsEtologiaBarcelona (Catalunya : Àrea metropolitana)BearsZoosAnimal behaviorBarcelona (Catalonia : Metropolitan area)info:eu-repo/semantics/article6594182017-03-08info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
