RESUMO
Animais em cativeiro tendem a viver em ambientes altamente previsíveis e estruturados onde raramente apresentam desafios do ambiente natural, e isso pode desencadear uma série de casos de extrema-respostas adaptativas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o bem-estar de um bugio cativo após o enriquecimento social e ambiental, assim como analisar, durante cada tratamento, a interação com os enriquecimentos ao longo dos dias. Os resultados apontaram uma diminuição contínua da maioria dos comportamentos estereotipados e aumento na interação social em todas as fases de enriquecimento. Estes resultados mostraram que houve uma melhoria no bem-estar deste animal após a introdução da fêmea e do espelho.(AU)
