    The maintenance of wild animals in captivity is an important tool for the conservation of the species, however, this environment can compromise the well-being of the animals. It must be ensured that the enclosure provides a quality of life at least similar to what it would have in its natural habitat. Having proper management is essential for a good quality of life, we must cherish their well-being, not allowing prey to have visual, olfactory and auditory contact with predators, water available at all times, among others. Environmental enrichment is a fundamental tool to maintain quality of life, as it aims to encourage these animals to behave similarly to those they would have in nature, even in captivity. Currently, free-ranging animals go through many difficulties, caused mainly by us, with that, more and more animals are arriving in Zoos and end up joining the squad, so Zoos invest a lot in research and development of new techniques to improve the quality of life for these animals and make their lives better in captive environments.
