“Training animals to do husbandry behaviors on cue is another way keepers care for animals. At the Zoo, we use operant conditioning and positive reinforcement training, which means that animals have the choice to participate in training sessions or to walk away.

Reptile Discovery Center keepers have trained this crocodile to move to a desired location and touch her nose to a target at the end of a pole. When she does the behavior asked of her, keepers reward her with food. They do this training several times a week; the animal knows that she will receive a reward for approaching the target. This allows keepers to safely observe the animal and look for any cuts, scrapes or other signs that she may need a visit from the Zoo’s veterinarians.”-Hilary Colton (Read the full story; link in our profile.)
