The Ramat Gan Safari Park has introduced a novel enrichment program for its lions and tigers, involving the scattering of ground coffee and aromatic herbs within their enclosures. The big cats reacted with significant interest, sniffing the coffee, rubbing against it, and rolling in the mixture. Some even tasted the unusual substance.
Park staff explained that this initiative is part of a behavioral enrichment strategy designed to stimulate the animals' senses, foster curiosity, and maintain their physical and mental activity. Such activities aim to diversify the predators' routine environment by providing new stimuli for exploration and interaction.
The lions and tigers at the safari demonstrated that the aroma of coffee can be enjoyable even without a cup, particularly when experienced through rolling in it. The park hopes this will enhance the animals' well-being and provide visitors with an interesting observation.
