Cold-blooded Care: Understanding the Needs of Captive Reptiles
Webinar Description: Having been largely ignored in the study of animal cognition, reptiles have long been considered “sluggish and unintelligent creatures” (Yerkes 1901, p 520). However, recent research into the cognitive capabilities of reptiles has revealed striking new evidence of sophisticated capacities in a variety of species. Such findings have important implications for the welfare of reptiles in captivity, particularly in relation to their ability to suffer. This talk will present some recent research on the cognitive abilities of reptiles and consider the implications of this in relation to their captive welfare.
Presenter: Dr. Anna Wilkinson, BSc, Professor of Animal Cognition, University of Lincoln in the United Kingdom
| Anna Wilkinson is a Professor of Animal Cognition at the University of Lincoln. She is interested in how animals perceive the world, how they process the vast amount of information that they perceive every day and why they attend to certain aspects of their environment. In particular, in how reptiles learn about the environment and how it alters the decisions that they make. Her work has revealed remarkable cognitive abilities in this group which has important implications for their welfare. |  |
