The Houston Zoo celebrates its annual Enrichment Day on Saturday October 2, 2010 with day long activities like this zoo-wide, to demonstrate how animals can be stimulated and use their natural behaviors through toys, scents, and hidden treats. Here a pied tamarin -- an aboreal monkey native to Brazilian forests in the Amazon -- uses a plastic barrel tied above ground as they would hollows tree cavities.
