In an effort to enhance the lives of the animals, the zoo gives them natural challenges. The polar bears, for example, are often fed horse heads, so that they have to use both teeth and claws to get something to eat.
The Copenhagen Zoo is one of the few zoos in the Western world to work with the animals in this fashion.
