Bears in captivity are prone to develop stereotypic behaviours. While wild bears spend a considerable amount of time foraging every day, bears in captivity use limited time for feeding. This has been considered a causation of stereotypic behaviours. In the present study, we showed that cheap environmenatl enrichment presentations can reduce levels of stereotypies as effective as expensive presentations.
