title: [Boredom in zoo animals--an relevant animal welfare problem?].
abstract: Modern sciences, the philosophy of insight, and psychology are the basis for a discussion of the question, whether animals can experience boredom or even suffer from it. Various examples are used for illustration. The results show that neither a direct statement is possible nor can a logical conclusion by indirect analogy be made.
