Summer Seasonal Lecture: Veterinary Care at the Zoo
How do you decide what an elephant eats? What happens when a zebra has an allergy or a red panda develops a fever? In this lecture, the Veterinary Team at Roger Williams Park Zoo will share what it takes to care for animals of all shapes and sizes. Learn what a day in the life of a zoo veterinarian looks like—and why every day brings something new.
