As Digger Learns
On Friday, there was a learning opportunity for the volunteers at Elmwood Park Zoo. Gathered in a classroom, we heard the story of how a zookeeper had trained the two Patagonian maras (large rodents native to South America) to step onto a scale voluntarily, to be weighed.
I cannot go into much detail in this space, but I will put this photo onto a digital screen tomorrow, and explain it to people with whom I work. The process of training these large rodents took about eight months.
