The cover photo shows a female subject of southern tamandua (Tamandua tetradactyla) kept at Aquário de São Paulo performing the "climbing" behavior. By performing this behavior, the subject climbed its enclosure's elements such as the trunk (photo). During the observations two subjects (a male and a female) were studied regarding their behaviors while in the presence and absence of environmental enrichments, which would be important for us to understand how environmental enrichments would have influenced these subjects' behavior. The photo shows the moment when the observers were getting to know these subjects to understand the enclosure where the observations would be conducted. Photo by Maryana Tursi and Fernanda Buck.
