We're nuts about enrichment here at Brookfield Zoo! In honor of National Peanut Butter Day, we provided our one-year-old brown bear cubs, Jess and Tim, with some peanut butter enrichment on a GoPro box. Their care team reports this is one of their favorite snacks! The occasional treat can be used as a fun surprise for our animals, and can serve as a reward for engaging in husbandry behaviors. Check it out as they go wild with the tasty treat! | Brookfield Zoo Chicago
