A new structure resembling both a tree and a bird's nest has recently appeared at the Formosan Animal Area, which is actually a behavior-enrichment facility designed for Asiatic black bears. Keepers hide food above the pillar, encouraging the bears to sniff, nibble, and push—all natural foraging behaviors.
