AN UNDERCOVER INVESTIGATION BY
animalEQUALITY
The substrate in each exhibit is a concrete/gunite-type material that does not allow for foraging behaviour. This hard, flat surface is boring for animals and can be physically damaging.
There are no shelters or privacy areas for the animals to retreat from public view, or the view of conspecifics, and visitor are able to view the animals from all sides at Barcelona Zoo.
