The explorer
Of old a lot of research was done in Burgers' Zoo. As early as
in 1971 the behaviour in the chimpansee colony was scientifically
studied. Many a thesis was written on our chimpansees, zebras and
wolves and the list of publications is impressive. In addition to
behavioural studies also a lot of nutritional and zoo-therapeutic
and even genetic studies take place. The eco-displays, however,
provide an entirely new field of interest: ecological studies into
the connection between species, biological pest control, model
research into population developments, chemical seawater studies,
zoo technique of sea animals, systematic plant studies, etc.
Students of universities and colleges make important contributions
to the scientific structure of the control of the eco-displays.
