Caring for some 5,000 animals at the MN Zoo is an enormous, complex responsibility. We learn a lot from Kurt Heizmann, Director of Animal Care at the MN Zoo, about how it’s done and who does it.
With host Bill Raker asking questions of curiosity, Kurt tells how the Zoo “sources” its animals; he explains the roles of “ambassador animals”; and he exposes which group of animals is “a handful to manage”.
This is a fun and informative conversation!
