Recently the team at the Animal Care Center has taken their skills in the kitchen to a whole new level!
A recent culinary trend for our creative Animal Care team has been using items normally found in our animals' diets (fruits and veggies) -- and presenting them in ways that would please the pickiest of palates. This is a unique form of enrichment for the animals, and it has been lots of fun for our team of animal care specialists and our guests.
