The problem with much of the physiological evidence supporting the hypothesis that environmental enrichment improves animal welfare is that such data are usually generated by comparing barren to enriched environments. Often we do not have any data on the normal levels for a particular species; for example, we do not have baseline levels of circulating cortisol concentrations in wild animals. Thus, we cannot determine if enrichment merely returns levels to normal or actually enhances the situation in comparison to normal.
