Wild Workshops: Zoo School September 8, 2012

As students head back to school to learn new skills, the animals at the zoo continue their year-long training. Have you ever wondered how a zookeeper trains a sea lion to flap its flippers or a parrot to mimic a sound? In this workshop you will discover how zookeepers use training to display animals' natural behaviors, showcasing how they act in the wild. You will observe animal behavior and practice training techniques that help zookeepers to manage the Zoo's diverse animal collection.
