Animal Training [Full Clip] | Young Explorers

Zookeepers must keep animals safe and healthy. Sea lions and giraffes are trained so that zookeepers can provide them with medical care and opportunities to entertain zoo visitors.

This segment is from Iowa PBS’s Go Wild program, based on demonstrations performed by the Blank Park Zoo. These fun, inspiring science topics will encourage young explorers to investigate the world and discover the many wonderful ways we can interact with animals and their habitats. The demonstrations were recorded at the Blank Park Zoo in Des Moines, Iowa.
