Note: The model is controlling for repeated observations on each facility and individual. The performance in the honey tool-task was binary measured. The Analysis included 88 individuals in 9 different zoos/rehab stations, totalling 352 observations, χ2 = 226.27, P < 0.001, P-values below 0.05 appear in bold. Parameter estimates from a binomial GLMM, predicting the probability of an animal solving the task.
