Abstract
To understand how learning and memory works in animals, it is important to understand their ability to habituate and discriminate amongst various stimuli.

The present study investigated odor discrimination and possible evidence of memory in tigers (Panthera tigris) and snow leopards (Panthera uncia) at the Bronx Zoo in New York using biologically relevant and irrelevant scents.
