Detailed Description

Description: You will visit London Zoo and take part in a 4 hour workshop which will include:

Animal Learning and Intelligence Workshop: Explore various theories of learning and discuss their real-life applications in the context of animal welfare and conservation. Learn from real examples derived from ZSL's pioneering work in the field.

Self-Guided Animal Behaviour Study: Utilise iPads and a specialised app to conduct timed interval sampling, collecting valuable data on the behaviour of zoo animals.

Super Species Demonstration: Witness our animal training staff in action during our 'Super Species' demonstration. Afterwards, engage in a Q&A session to deepen your understanding of animal training and behaviour.

Discussion with a Learning Officer: Gather for a short plenary session to discuss your findings and the significance of studying behaviour in informing the care of animals, whether in the zoo or in the wild.

You will then have free time to explore the zoo in small groups before returning back to Weston Super Mare
