ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR

Wildlife behaviours are key attractions to many nature based visitors and tourists. These

behaviours are not noticeable to the common visitor unless they are interpreted and

communicated by guides or tourism officers. Among the many roles of tourism officers and

tour operators is the interpretation of wildlife to visitors. In order to carry out their tasks

effectively, these professionals must be equipped with the skills and knowledge of

identification, description, analysis, and communication of wildlife behaviour to visitors.
