Design Brief

We are learning to design an enrichment toy for one of our animals that we are currently studying. We are going to start designing it using the technique of a design brief. My animal is the wild dog.A design brief consists of the following

-A **__poroblem__** -A solution -An enrichment machine -Why this machine is needed -How my machine will fix the problem - Why the Wild dog will like it -Conclusion -Diagram of machine -Description


 * Design Brief

Problem** The problem for the wild dog in captivity is that it doesnt have any animals to chase and kill like they did in their natural habitat hense the reason that the animal will get bored. Also we are not able to put a live animal in to get hunted.

That is why i have invented a machine called the Runner. What this is, is a machine with meat attached to it an is connected to a track running along the outside of the arena enabling it to be able to move around the outside for the Wild Dog to chase.
 * Solution**

This will make a difference because now the Wild Dog is able to hunt once again without it being a problem to our animals being put in the area to be killed. This is the ideal option which will give the Wild Dog another chance to once again be a hunter. The reason for the wild dog to like this toy is beacause it would obviously be bored but with this toy it would feel like it was back in its environment and would feel more comfortable being able to hunt. This also gives the animal the rite to play and kill and not feel so lonely.
 * Why It Will Make A Difference**
 * Why This Will Be An Ideal Toy For The Wild Dog**

This machine is a mechanical piece of equipment which has a base wher you hook the meat up. This base is connected to a track that runs all the way round the arena. We can change the pace to what mood the animal is in.

 * Diagram**

Overall I think my toy will be the ideal option for all Zoos and will work perfectly.
 * Conclusion**

**SUNDAY** Well done Jerram! You have outlined success criteria that will ensure your enrichment toy has a correct design brief. I look forward to viewing this as you create it. Mrs B 4/11 - Your design is starting to look good. I am looking forward to it being completed and posted on here. Keep up the good work Jerram - Mrs B
