This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: CMap 10 (Felid Activity on Zoo Visitor Interest SW Margulis), visitors are attracted to more active animals which is important because visitor presence may have an effect on the behavior of zoo animals, visitor presence may have an effect on the behavior of zoo animals such as they may be potential stressors, visitor presence may have an effect on the behavior of zoo animals such as they may provide enrichment (for primates), visitor presence did not influence cat activity in which there was no significant differences in activity, whether there visitors were present or absent, there was sig MORE visitors at the lion, amur leopard, and amur tiger when they were active (fig. 4) in spring and adding snow leopard 2 in summer (fig 6) although there could be more attraction, there was no significant differences in activity, whether there visitors were present or absent concluding since there was no affect of visitors on big cats behavior, we can strictly say that the animals behavior (inactivity vs activity) influenced the visitors behavior, the lion, snow leopard, and fishing cat's inactivity vs activity in spring (fig. 3) and the lion, amur, leopard, tiger, and snow leopard 1 and 2 in summer (fig 5) but there was sig MORE visitors at the lion, amur leopard, and amur tiger when they were active (fig. 4) in spring and adding snow leopard 2 in summer (fig 6), visitor INTEREST was greater where there were active cats with sig differences b/w the lion, snow leopard, and fishing cat's inactivity vs activity in spring (fig. 3) and the lion, amur, leopard, tiger, and snow leopard 1 and 2 in summer (fig 5), they looked at visitor interest and number for seven big cats in six enclosures by doing 1 minute scans every 10 minutes, Effect of Felid Activity on Zoo Visitor Interest by *SW Margulis, C Hoyos, and M Anderson which studied the "visitor attraction" on felids, they may provide enrichment (for primates) however the people may not influence animal behavior, but vice versa; animal behavior influences visitor response, visitor presence may have an effect on the behavior of zoo animals such as they may be an important variable that influences animal behavior, there was sig MORE visitors at the lion, amur leopard, and amur tiger when they were active (fig. 4) in spring and adding snow leopard 2 in summer (fig 6) concluding since there was no affect of visitors on big cats behavior, we can strictly say that the animals behavior (inactivity vs activity) influenced the visitors behavior, the "visitor attraction" on felids which results in visitor INTEREST was greater where there were active cats, the "visitor attraction" on felids that assumes visitors are attracted to more active animals, the people may not influence animal behavior, but vice versa; animal behavior influences visitor response concluding since there was no affect of visitors on big cats behavior, we can strictly say that the animals behavior (inactivity vs activity) influenced the visitors behavior, the "visitor attraction" on felids which results in visitor presence did not influence cat activity, they may be potential stressors however the people may not influence animal behavior, but vice versa; animal behavior influences visitor response, there could be more attraction due to species familiarity, the "visitor attraction" on felids in which they looked at visitor interest and number for seven big cats in six enclosures
