    Hi,

    I'm designing a research proposal into obstacles to successful rearing of cubs in captive Sumatran tigers, specifically to examine fecal cortisol levels, visitor/noise levels around enclosures, and a number of other factors. Its unlikely to get past a hypothetical piece of work for a BSc, however I may want to develop it further down the line.

    I've posted for help elsewhere, but if anyone knows of any research or anecdotal pointers I'd be grateful to hear from you.
