Glucocorticoid Production, Activity Levels, And Personality Traits Of Fennec Foxes () Managed For Different Roles In Zoos.

Fecal glucocorticoid metabolite (FGM) concentrations, activity, and personality were assessed for 35 fennec foxes () to determine whether animals managed as ambassadors differed from exhibit or off-exhibit animals. A FGM assay, pedometer, and personality assessment tool were validated. Then, fecal samples and movement data were collected during winter and summer periods.
