WildThink
We are WildThink, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded to help zoos and sanctuaries prevent boredom and stress in their animals by encouraging animals to use their brains and bodies as they would in the wild. Our purpose is to design puzzles and toys (called enrichment) to stimulate problem-solving and physical activity for animals in zoos and sanctuaries. We also aim to inspire animal caretakers to create inventive enrichment for the animals under their care, and to act as a resource for all things related to animal enrichment. We proudly host the only free online animal enrichment database where zookeepers and pet parents can find species-appropriate enrichment items and preparation instructions all in one place.
