Previously, the zookeepers had to brush the animals by hand. Also, because the animals cannot scratch themselves, they could not &#8220;mark&#8221; their territory, which is part of their natural behavior.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was too time consuming for the keepers to get to every animal,\u201d UTC Courtney Branson said. \u201cSo we made several large scratching posts to hang on the fences at different heights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After several designs, the team decided to use mats and doorstops to make their scratching posts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were walking through the home improvement store one day, and saw the doorstops. We thought they would be perfect for our project. We then found large, industrial strength mats to attach them to. We spray painted the entire thing so it would better blend into the environment,\u201d Branson said.<\/p>\n<p>For student Brett Smith, teamwork is what made the project successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was great to do hands-on learning as opposed to just learning about theory, but it was hard. We had to come up with all the answers on our own as opposed to having a book tell us. Our team worked well together. It was a fun challenge,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s other teammates were William Bryant, Michael Milam, and Mark Pitre.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The animals at the petting zoo in the Chattanooga Zoo will breathe\u2014and scratch easier this summer.\u00a0 A group of UTC engineering students have designed several low-cost scratching posts for them to use.<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-wrap\"><span><a class=\"more-link button text\" href=\"https:\/\/blogarchive.utc.edu\/news\/2013\/06\/engineering-students-construct-scratching-posts-for-chattanooga-zoo\/\">Continue Reading <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":9045,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_slider":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_featurette":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-9025","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","8":"entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
