Resumo Inglês:
With the increase of popular concern regarding the welfare of animals in captivity, environmental enrichment is a crucial tool for environment adaptation and maintenance of animals out of their natural habitat. Such a procedure aims to promote habitat characteristics to animals in captivity so that they can express a natural behavior of their own species, remain less time in idleness and to reduce or extinguish stereotypical behaviors and stress. This way, the objective of this current research was to elaborate a bibliographic review of animal welfare and environmental enrichment, and also of physiological and behavioral animal stress.
