Watch carnivore keeper Steph as she works alongside red panda siblings Tashi and Dalha, in their cooperative health care training at Auckland Zoo.
To start the session, Steph will call the pandas down from the trees and they can decide whether or not they’d like to take part in the day’s voluntary training.
We do this training to ensure future treatments are stress-free and positive for the animals in our care, and means that subcutaneous (under the skin) injections can happen easily and safely.
