RESUMO
Pingüim de Magalhães (Spheniscusmagellanicus) é uma espécie que habita as regiões frias do mundo e formam colônias de centenas de milhares de indivíduos. Durante o inverno do hemisfério sul, estes podem se perder na corrente das Malvinas e chegar à costa Sul e Sudeste do Brasil, onde são resgatados e levados para os zoológicos ou centros de recuperação. A maioria dos espécimes de pingüim chega debilitada e doente, necessitando de cuidados intensivos.O presente trabalho relatou a retirada, por técnica endoscópica, de um anzol fixado no tubo digestivo de um jovem Pingüim de Magalhães que foi levado a Fundação RIOZOO. Com a retirada bem sucedida do anzol da região esofágica associada à excelente e rápida recuperação clínica do animal, concluiu-se que o endoscópio pode ser utilizado como uma das ferramentas terapêuticas em casos de retirada de corpo estranho de tubos digestivos de aves(AU)
Magellanicpenguim(Spheniscusmagellanicus) is a species that inhabit the cold regions of the world and form colonies of hundreds of thousands of individuals. During the southern hemisphere winter, they may get lost in the Malvinas current and reach the south coast and southeastern Brazil, where they are rescued and taken to zoos or rescue centers. Most species of penguin gets weak and ill, requiring intensive care. This paper reported the withdrawal by endoscopic techniques, a fixed fishhook in the gut of a young Magellanic penguin that was taken RIOZOO Foundation. With the successful exit of the hook region of the esophagus associated with excellent and rapid recovery of the animal, it was concluded that the endoscope can be used as one of therapeutic tools in cases of foreign body removal of gut of birds(AU)

Animals in captivity are frequently exposed to environmental deprivation resulting in abnormal behaviors that indicate distress. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the "surprise pack" environmental enrichment technique in improving the welfare of small neotropical felids in captivity. In order to accomplish this, we used five individuals from the Rio de Janeiro Zoo. The experiment was divided into three steps corresponding to: I) period prior to the enrichment, II) period in which the animals were being submitted to enrichment stimuli, and III) period after the enrichment. In phase II, we observed a significant reduction in abnormal behavior compared to phases I and III. Only in phase II did the animals demonstrate the following behaviors: predation, social interaction and territory demarcation. However, in this same phase, the mean time spent interacting with the enrichment throughout the day showed a decrease.
