00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:01,929
Alright
Let's start loading.
2
00:00:02,118 --> 00:00:06,398
Rare, exotic venomous snakes is
not a typical response for us.
3
00:00:06,686 --> 00:00:08,109
That is a big Rhino Viper.
4
00:00:08,209 --> 00:00:09,805
When we got
the call last night,
5
00:00:09,889 --> 00:00:12,703
We were told there was
approximately 50 snakes
6
00:00:12,788 --> 00:00:14,830
When we got here on site today,
7
00:00:14,915 --> 00:00:17,640
We heard that there may be
at least twice that many.
8
00:00:17,725 --> 00:00:19,266
Crazy this was
in somebody's house.
9
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:20,467
Are you coming?
10
00:00:20,583 --> 00:00:22,710
We had two
pronghorn fawns born.
11
00:00:22,798 --> 00:00:24,820
The boy took to the bottle
right away.
12
00:00:24,905 --> 00:00:26,723
The female was almost
the exact opposite.
13
00:00:26,808 --> 00:00:29,660
And so the decision was made to
transport her to the Bronx zoo.
14
00:00:29,745 --> 00:00:31,979
Congrats, you just got
your first meal.
15
00:00:34,393 --> 00:00:35,977
Hi, Nessie pig.
16
00:00:36,099 --> 00:00:37,807
You want to have
some fun?
17
00:00:37,892 --> 00:00:40,756
In order to get her to spend
more time with enrichment items,
18
00:00:40,841 --> 00:00:43,105
It's important to find something
a little bit more challenging
19
00:00:43,189 --> 00:00:44,841
And puzzling for them.
20
00:00:44,926 --> 00:00:46,424
Who's a good girl?
21
00:00:46,509 --> 00:00:48,869
We have a whole new
generation of geladas
22
00:00:48,954 --> 00:00:50,905
growing up here
at the Bronx zoo right now.
23
00:00:50,990 --> 00:00:53,869
I will never lose
that amazement
24
00:00:53,954 --> 00:00:58,442
in watching how quickly
primate babies develop.
25
00:00:58,526 --> 00:01:01,378
If you ask a child
to draw a picture of a zoo,
26
00:01:01,462 --> 00:01:04,748
Chances are they'll draw
an animal behind bars.
27
00:01:04,832 --> 00:01:07,084
We've got to take that image
and change it.
28
00:01:14,542 --> 00:01:15,759
I really enjoy this.
29
00:01:15,843 --> 00:01:19,029
It strengthens the bond
that we have with these guys.
30
00:01:19,113 --> 00:01:20,897
- Come on.
- I know... you don't like doors.
31
00:01:20,981 --> 00:01:22,075
Go on, ladies.
32
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,245
It's not enough
to keep animals in exhibits
33
00:01:24,330 --> 00:01:25,714
just for people to look at.
34
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:27,450
There has to be
a higher purpose.
35
00:01:27,535 --> 00:01:30,788
And for us, it's conservation
of species in the wild.
36
00:01:31,005 --> 00:01:32,355
Are we rolling?
37
00:01:32,518 --> 00:01:34,937
The general public
would never get the access
38
00:01:35,028 --> 00:01:37,480
- That you are gonna get,
which is to see- Good girl
39
00:01:37,565 --> 00:01:40,450
What goes on behind the scenes
every day.
40
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:42,719
That's how we do it
here in the boogie down Bronx.
41
00:01:42,803 --> 00:01:44,388

This morning, Jim, Don, Kevin
and I are going to be heading
47
00:01:59,487 --> 00:02:02,239
to a private residence
where we were asked
48
00:02:02,324 --> 00:02:05,610
by New York State Department
of Environmental Conservation
49
00:02:05,829 --> 00:02:10,884
to assist them with the
confiscation of venomous snakes.

D.E.C. Is typically not equipped
52
00:02:23,004 --> 00:02:25,056
to deal with
exotic venomous reptiles.
53
00:02:25,179 --> 00:02:28,698
So we're gonna come
and remove the snakes
54
00:02:28,782 --> 00:02:30,481
and bring them back to the zoo.
55
00:02:33,441 --> 00:02:36,293
Quiet, little dead-end road.
56
00:02:48,669 --> 00:02:50,220
We had a gentleman who's bit
by a venomous snake
57
00:02:50,304 --> 00:02:51,221
Over the weekend.
58
00:02:51,305 --> 00:02:53,423
So that alerted us
to the situation.
59
00:02:53,507 --> 00:02:56,093
After speaking with him,
we found out that he had
60
00:02:56,177 --> 00:02:58,161
A lot more snakes in his home.
61
00:02:58,245 --> 00:02:59,496
In the state of New York,
62
00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:02,632
You are not allowed to possess
any venomous snakes
63
00:03:02,716 --> 00:03:05,368
Unless you have a license
to be an exhibitor
64
00:03:05,452 --> 00:03:07,471
Or for educational purposes.
65
00:03:07,555 --> 00:03:10,474
A situation like this
is very dangerous.
66
00:03:10,558 --> 00:03:12,576
When you're in
a residential neighborhood
67
00:03:12,660 --> 00:03:15,712
and you've got over 100 venomous
snakes in your basement,
68
00:03:15,796 --> 00:03:17,747
We take that very seriously.
69
00:03:22,102 --> 00:03:23,487
When we got the call
last night,
70
00:03:23,571 --> 00:03:26,123
We were told that there was
approximately 50 snakes.
71
00:03:26,207 --> 00:03:27,991
Now, when we got here
on site today,
72
00:03:28,075 --> 00:03:31,194
We heard that there may be
at least twice that many.
73
00:03:34,448 --> 00:03:38,668
Well, we've got a couple of
heavy-duty locking trash cans
74
00:03:38,752 --> 00:03:42,305
and a couple of 5-gallon buckets
with locking lids
75
00:03:42,389 --> 00:03:44,941
To move snakes around
if we need to.
76
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:50,380
We're not allowed
to bring cameras in.
77
00:03:57,171 --> 00:03:59,589
It's nice to be able
to rely on resources
78
00:03:59,673 --> 00:04:01,191
Like the Bronx zoo.
79
00:04:01,275 --> 00:04:03,360
Their specialists are going
to be handling the snakes,
80
00:04:03,444 --> 00:04:04,861
Preparing the snakes
for transport,
81
00:04:04,945 --> 00:04:06,745
and taking them
to a safe location.
82
00:04:10,618 --> 00:04:12,002
First look at the snakes,
83
00:04:12,086 --> 00:04:14,304
They seem to be
in pretty decent condition.
84
00:04:16,991 --> 00:04:19,776
You can't help but be
kind of overwhelmed
85
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:22,412
When you go into a house
and you see virtually
86
00:04:22,496 --> 00:04:27,450
Every space is filled
with snakes from wall to wall.
87
00:04:27,534 --> 00:04:29,553
This isn't something
that we do regularly.
88
00:04:29,637 --> 00:04:31,588
Snake bites for a hiker
on the mountain...
89
00:04:31,672 --> 00:04:33,390
That's typical for us.
90
00:04:33,474 --> 00:04:35,859
Rare, you know, exotic
venomous snakes
91
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:38,528
Is not a typical response
for us.
92
00:04:41,715 --> 00:04:44,100
We've managed to safely pack up
all the snakes,
93
00:04:44,184 --> 00:04:46,303
So we've got to take them
back to the zoo.
94
00:04:46,387 --> 00:04:47,337
Ready?
95
00:04:47,421 --> 00:04:48,854
Let's start loading.
96
00:04:50,991 --> 00:04:52,676
These are exotic species.
97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,078
They're very interesting
species, some of them.
98
00:04:55,162 --> 00:04:57,480
There are some species
that are less common...
99
00:04:57,564 --> 00:05:00,550
Mang pit vipers,
hagen's pit vipers,
100
00:05:00,634 --> 00:05:03,887
Taiwanese mountain vipers.
101
00:05:03,971 --> 00:05:05,589
This is crazy.
102
00:05:05,673 --> 00:05:08,525
Private people really
shouldn't be housing venomous snakes.
103
00:05:08,609 --> 00:05:10,727
Aside from the issues
of legality
104
00:05:10,811 --> 00:05:12,462
Is just a logistical issue
105
00:05:12,546 --> 00:05:17,000
Of providing the care
that these animals need.
106
00:05:17,084 --> 00:05:19,169
I think that looks good.
Yeah, looks great.
107
00:05:19,253 --> 00:05:21,404
We've been here
about seven hours.
108
00:05:21,488 --> 00:05:22,772
It's been a long day.
109
00:05:22,856 --> 00:05:24,274
Thanks for everything.
Thank you.
110
00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:26,810
We're gonna take them
all back to the Bronx zoo,
111
00:05:26,894 --> 00:05:29,179
and we're gonna set them up
in one of the quarantine rooms
112
00:05:29,263 --> 00:05:30,614
At the health center.
113
00:05:30,698 --> 00:05:33,583
And then we have to wait till
the court gives us custody,
114
00:05:33,667 --> 00:05:35,518
and then we can help place them.
115
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:57,274
We had two baby pronghorn
that were born here
116
00:05:57,358 --> 00:05:59,876
At the queens zoo,
a male and a female.
117
00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:03,313
The male is still being
bottle-fed.
118
00:06:03,397 --> 00:06:07,150
I'm gonna play mama to him,
and we'll see what happens.
119
00:06:07,234 --> 00:06:09,786
Knock, knock.
120
00:06:09,870 --> 00:06:12,555
Am I disturbing you?
121
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:15,292
Come on.
122
00:06:15,376 --> 00:06:16,960
Come along.
123
00:06:17,044 --> 00:06:18,962
We hand-rear our pronghorn fawns
124
00:06:19,046 --> 00:06:21,064
Because they can be flighty
and very difficult
125
00:06:21,148 --> 00:06:22,499
To manage as they mature.
126
00:06:22,583 --> 00:06:24,367
Are you coming?
That a boy!
127
00:06:24,451 --> 00:06:26,303
What are you doing?
Are you nervous?
128
00:06:26,387 --> 00:06:27,570
By hand-rearing them,
129
00:06:27,654 --> 00:06:29,372
They become accustomed
to the zookeepers
130
00:06:29,456 --> 00:06:31,207
So that we can provide them
with quality care
131
00:06:31,291 --> 00:06:32,809
Throughout their life.
132
00:06:34,995 --> 00:06:36,880
Oh, you're hungry, huh?
133
00:06:36,964 --> 00:06:38,782
That a boy.
134
00:06:38,866 --> 00:06:41,217
He's eating real well.
135
00:06:41,301 --> 00:06:43,753
He's eating about
16 ounces every day.
136
00:06:43,837 --> 00:06:45,088
Four bottles.
137
00:06:45,172 --> 00:06:48,725
He's gaining weight every day.
138
00:06:48,809 --> 00:06:51,227
Take a break. Got to give you
a break every once in awhile.
139
00:06:51,311 --> 00:06:52,562
Come.
140
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,966
The bottle feeding doesn't
take very long,
141
00:06:57,050 --> 00:06:59,402
But after that, you need to
spend a lot of time with him
142
00:06:59,486 --> 00:07:02,739
To make sure he's getting
exercise and socialization.
143
00:07:02,823 --> 00:07:05,642
They're a very social animal.
They're a herd animal.
144
00:07:05,726 --> 00:07:06,976
We took them away
from their herd
145
00:07:07,060 --> 00:07:08,545
in ordered to hand-rear them.
146
00:07:08,629 --> 00:07:11,548
We as zookeepers take the place
of their herd.
147
00:07:11,632 --> 00:07:12,671
Ready?
148
00:07:12,756 --> 00:07:14,875
As their surrogate mother,
we provide them with food,
149
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,405
We nurse them out of bottles,
we give them protection,
150
00:07:17,490 --> 00:07:20,022
Anything that the babies might
need so that they can thrive
151
00:07:20,107 --> 00:07:22,311
and grow up to be
happy and healthy pronghorn.
152
00:07:22,396 --> 00:07:24,714
Even though I'm not a pronghorn,
he doesn't know that.
153
00:07:26,429 --> 00:07:28,547
So I guess I'm technically
part of his herd.
154
00:07:34,053 --> 00:07:35,984
At the queens zoo,
one of the iconic species
155
00:07:36,068 --> 00:07:38,007
that we have is the pronghorn.
156
00:07:38,222 --> 00:07:41,307
They're found all throughout
the western plains,
157
00:07:41,415 --> 00:07:44,835
From Mexico
all the way up into Montana.
158
00:07:47,257 --> 00:07:48,541
They have huge eyes
159
00:07:48,626 --> 00:07:51,757
That allow them to see
almost 320 degrees around them,
160
00:07:51,842 --> 00:07:55,128
and they can run up to
50, 55 miles per hour.
161
00:07:57,923 --> 00:07:59,569
With the pronghorn fawns,
162
00:07:59,654 --> 00:08:01,973
The boy took to the bottle
right away,
163
00:08:02,216 --> 00:08:03,671
and he's doing great.
164
00:08:03,756 --> 00:08:05,607
The female is almost
the exact opposite.
165
00:08:05,961 --> 00:08:07,469
Her condition was
pretty critical,
166
00:08:07,554 --> 00:08:10,210
and the decision was made to
transport her to the Bronx zoo.
167
00:08:11,617 --> 00:08:13,268
Are you guys
ready, Steph?
168
00:08:16,936 --> 00:08:19,082
I need you to
start some iso.
169
00:08:21,194 --> 00:08:23,851
We've just brought
a pronghorn Fawn
170
00:08:23,936 --> 00:08:27,069
from the queens zoo,
and she's in really bad shape.
171
00:08:27,154 --> 00:08:31,429
She is weak, and she has
really low blood sugar.
172
00:08:31,514 --> 00:08:32,598
Hold her.
173
00:08:32,748 --> 00:08:34,843
In her case, we have to
put a feeding tube
174
00:08:34,928 --> 00:08:36,412
Surgically into her stomach
175
00:08:36,532 --> 00:08:39,818
Because pronghorn stomachs
are really complicated.
176
00:08:40,004 --> 00:08:41,989
- Let's intubate.
- Yeah.
177
00:08:42,074 --> 00:08:44,025
They have different parts
to their stomach.
178
00:08:44,110 --> 00:08:49,732
And if she doesn't suckle, then
the milk goes to the wrong spot.
179
00:08:49,892 --> 00:08:53,311
We have to put the feeding tube
in through the side of her body
180
00:08:53,403 --> 00:08:56,089
So the milk goes directly
to where it needs to go
181
00:08:56,174 --> 00:08:59,660
So she can absorb that nutrition
and become stronger.
182
00:08:59,781 --> 00:09:01,733
All right,
let's hook her up.
183
00:09:03,488 --> 00:09:06,373
Because this baby is
in such critical condition,
184
00:09:06,458 --> 00:09:08,243
She's a high risk
for anesthesia.
185
00:09:08,328 --> 00:09:10,479
She could have a lot
of complications
186
00:09:10,564 --> 00:09:12,816
and she could not wake up
from the procedure.
187
00:09:12,901 --> 00:09:14,719
But if we don't do
the procedure,
188
00:09:14,827 --> 00:09:16,226
She's not gonna survive.
189
00:09:31,436 --> 00:09:33,436
...pretty much damaged.
190
00:09:41,285 --> 00:09:43,302
The procedure went well.
191
00:09:43,387 --> 00:09:47,174
So from now on, we'll be giving
her milk through the tube
192
00:09:47,339 --> 00:09:50,473
Just so she gets that
directly into her stomach.
193
00:09:51,881 --> 00:09:54,396
Congrats, you just got
your first meal.
194
00:09:55,036 --> 00:09:57,020
The pronghorn is not
fully stable,
195
00:09:57,105 --> 00:09:58,580
But we'll know she's
in the clear
196
00:09:58,665 --> 00:10:02,619
If she is nursing from a bottle
really well,
197
00:10:02,703 --> 00:10:04,989
She stays alert,
she's really active.
198
00:10:05,074 --> 00:10:06,658
But it'll be a couple weeks
199
00:10:06,743 --> 00:10:08,361
Until we can say
she's in the clear.
200
00:10:11,352 --> 00:10:14,192
The goal today is gonna be
to try and get everybody
201
00:10:14,277 --> 00:10:16,450
into the new containers.
202
00:10:16,622 --> 00:10:19,741
People usually use these
to pack their lunch,
203
00:10:20,007 --> 00:10:21,771
Where now they're
packed with snakes.
204
00:10:21,856 --> 00:10:23,456
Look at these things.
205
00:10:37,793 --> 00:10:39,021
Yesterday, we assisted
206
00:10:39,106 --> 00:10:41,491
The New York department
of environmental conservation
207
00:10:41,576 --> 00:10:42,826
in a confiscation.
208
00:10:42,911 --> 00:10:47,333
About 157 snakes were seized
from a private residence.
209
00:10:47,552 --> 00:10:50,450
We've now tripled our
venomous-snake collection.
210
00:10:50,647 --> 00:10:54,133
So, the goal today is gonna be
to try and get everybody
211
00:10:54,218 --> 00:10:56,161
into the new containers.
212
00:10:57,079 --> 00:10:59,716
We don't know his collection's
history, but anything new,
213
00:10:59,801 --> 00:11:01,700
even if we were getting it
from another zoo,
214
00:11:01,792 --> 00:11:05,211
We would put into quarantine to
keep it away from our animals.
215
00:11:05,296 --> 00:11:08,292
It's just a standard safeguard
to make sure we don't bring in
216
00:11:08,377 --> 00:11:11,060
any viral disease
or other sort of thing.
217
00:11:13,192 --> 00:11:15,010
Ok, so, let's get started.
218
00:11:16,871 --> 00:11:17,935
- You ready?
- Yep.
219
00:11:18,020 --> 00:11:20,004
Okay, I'm opening.
220
00:11:20,089 --> 00:11:21,440
All right, lifting.
221
00:11:21,525 --> 00:11:23,443
Really beautiful
insularis.
222
00:11:25,637 --> 00:11:28,290
We have two
east African gaboons.
223
00:11:28,375 --> 00:11:29,725
Little female.
224
00:11:29,810 --> 00:11:31,361
That's a pretty snake.
I like that.
225
00:11:31,446 --> 00:11:32,479
Yeah.
226
00:11:34,222 --> 00:11:36,289
Some are more common
than others.
227
00:11:39,150 --> 00:11:40,534
Look at these things.
228
00:11:40,619 --> 00:11:43,905
The rare Asian pit vipers
come from parts of the world
229
00:11:44,638 --> 00:11:47,190
Where it's not easy to access.
230
00:11:47,274 --> 00:11:49,225
That is a big
rhino viper.
231
00:11:51,634 --> 00:11:53,051
This is super cool.
232
00:11:53,136 --> 00:11:55,065
I mean, it's exciting to see,
like, so many different species
233
00:11:55,149 --> 00:11:56,466
in the same room.
234
00:11:56,551 --> 00:11:58,447
It's crazy this was
in somebody's house,
235
00:11:58,532 --> 00:12:00,431
But these snakes
are pretty awesome.
236
00:12:00,516 --> 00:12:01,900
That one is amazing.
237
00:12:01,985 --> 00:12:03,952
- That is amazing.
- Super variable.
238
00:12:05,588 --> 00:12:09,603
Whenever we remove the tapes,
we had to be super careful
239
00:12:09,688 --> 00:12:12,236
'cause the lids do
come off fairly easy.
240
00:12:12,321 --> 00:12:15,707
I mean, people usually use these
to pack their lunch,
241
00:12:15,792 --> 00:12:18,478
where now they're
packed with snakes.
242
00:12:19,191 --> 00:12:23,177
This is a big task to care
for this large of a collection.
243
00:12:23,262 --> 00:12:25,548
I mean, they're venomous snakes.
That's inherently a challenge.
244
00:12:25,632 --> 00:12:27,852
You have to be careful what
you're doing with these animals.
245
00:12:27,936 --> 00:12:30,354
Kelvin, we'll do
this one next.
246
00:12:30,462 --> 00:12:32,439
Only the reptile department
is currently trained
247
00:12:32,526 --> 00:12:34,043
For caring
for the venomous collection.
248
00:12:34,127 --> 00:12:35,645
And whenever we're working
this room,
249
00:12:35,729 --> 00:12:37,400
We have to have two people.
250
00:12:38,035 --> 00:12:40,470
But of course,
we do maintain antivenin on-site
251
00:12:40,563 --> 00:12:43,348
Just in case there is
some unforeseen accident
252
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:45,142
That leads to a bite.
253
00:12:45,227 --> 00:12:47,312
There's so many babies.
254
00:12:47,397 --> 00:12:49,015
Geez.
255
00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:51,051
Given the number
of new babies we have,
256
00:12:51,136 --> 00:12:53,922
We assume this individual
was breeding these snakes
257
00:12:54,014 --> 00:12:55,564
For sale to the private sector.
258
00:12:55,649 --> 00:12:57,200
Off-site quarantine.
259
00:12:57,285 --> 00:12:59,470
People who are
serious about snakes
260
00:12:59,555 --> 00:13:01,436
Oftentimes fall into this trap
261
00:13:01,521 --> 00:13:03,072
Where they actually
become hoarders.
262
00:13:03,156 --> 00:13:06,676
They breed them, they sell them,
and you hit this tipping point
263
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,392
where all of a sudden,
you can't manage them properly.
264
00:13:09,943 --> 00:13:11,681
It's a huge task ahead.
265
00:13:11,766 --> 00:13:14,051
We've got to get them
all weighed, I.D.'d,
266
00:13:14,136 --> 00:13:16,388
and then start day-to-day
husbandry of feeding
267
00:13:16,508 --> 00:13:18,860
and watering and cleaning.
268
00:13:18,945 --> 00:13:20,930
It just takes
an enormous amount of time.
269
00:13:21,015 --> 00:13:24,334
And so the goal, if they're
donated to us by D.E.C.,
270
00:13:24,511 --> 00:13:27,864
will be to disperse the main
part of this collection
271
00:13:27,948 --> 00:13:30,658
to other zoos
as soon as possible.
272
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:31,860
Okay.
273
00:13:32,085 --> 00:13:33,564
I think that's good.
274
00:13:49,736 --> 00:13:51,836
Hi, Vanessa.
275
00:13:54,352 --> 00:13:56,069
Like most pigs,
276
00:13:56,318 --> 00:13:59,071
The red river hogs
are very intelligent.
277
00:13:59,248 --> 00:14:02,700
They seem to enjoy
challenging puzzles or training.
278
00:14:02,785 --> 00:14:06,939
They're always ready to learn
something new, it seems.
279
00:14:11,242 --> 00:14:13,327
We tend to keep it in flakes
like that.
280
00:14:13,473 --> 00:14:17,345
The hogs enjoy breaking up
the flakes on their own.
281
00:14:17,632 --> 00:14:19,972
This is bucharo,
the red river hog.
282
00:14:20,057 --> 00:14:23,588
He's one of two males
that we have here.
283
00:14:23,855 --> 00:14:27,301
It can be very exciting
to try to come up with new ways
284
00:14:27,386 --> 00:14:31,072
to make sure that they're always
being mentally stimulated,
285
00:14:31,210 --> 00:14:34,596
and it can be very challenging
because I always feel like
286
00:14:34,697 --> 00:14:37,260
they're almost
one step ahead of us.
287
00:14:37,525 --> 00:14:39,200
The hogs are a lot of fun
to watch
288
00:14:39,285 --> 00:14:41,142
because they're very curious.
289
00:14:41,227 --> 00:14:43,278
This is Hampton and Topaz.
290
00:14:43,363 --> 00:14:47,583
They like to supervise whatever
is going on in the barn.
291
00:14:47,798 --> 00:14:50,579
They should be on exhibit,
but it's much more exciting
292
00:14:50,664 --> 00:14:53,750
to watch whatever
the zookeeper is doing.
293
00:14:58,637 --> 00:15:00,021
Wow!
294
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,330
Red river hogs
are a type of suid.
295
00:15:12,170 --> 00:15:14,017
They belong to the pig family,
296
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:15,611
and they're found
in forested areas
297
00:15:15,696 --> 00:15:17,713
throughout the
Central African rainforest.
298
00:15:17,815 --> 00:15:21,134
Pigs in general learn behaviors
very quickly.
299
00:15:24,252 --> 00:15:27,271
When you watch them, you'll see
them using their snouts.
300
00:15:27,356 --> 00:15:30,275
They're smelling for food,
they're moving the soil around,
301
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:31,811
and basically, they're using it
302
00:15:31,896 --> 00:15:34,900
as a tool to interact
with the environment.
303
00:15:35,109 --> 00:15:38,739
Keepers really work to encourage
the behaviors that they see.
304
00:15:38,824 --> 00:15:41,876
So if animals
are naturally curious
305
00:15:42,015 --> 00:15:43,633
and investigating
their environment,
306
00:15:43,717 --> 00:15:46,102
we always find ways
to then enhance that.
307
00:15:50,357 --> 00:15:51,728
Hi, Nessie pig.
308
00:15:51,813 --> 00:15:53,031
You want to have
some fun?
309
00:15:57,102 --> 00:16:01,656
We're going to give Vanessa some
quick, easy enrichment today,
310
00:16:01,741 --> 00:16:05,328
So we'll smear some of this
peanut butter inside the box,
311
00:16:05,459 --> 00:16:07,810
and we'll sprinkle
some parrot mix into it,
312
00:16:07,957 --> 00:16:09,342
Kind of keeps it
nice and fun.
313
00:16:09,427 --> 00:16:12,946
She has to kind of scrape
that off and tear the box up.
314
00:16:13,031 --> 00:16:15,181
She absolutely loves
peanut butter,
315
00:16:15,336 --> 00:16:17,904
Although I don't think
that's a fair Gauge
316
00:16:17,989 --> 00:16:20,775
because I'm pretty sure
she likes anything.
317
00:16:21,026 --> 00:16:23,463
Most of the enrichment we use
for the red river hogs
318
00:16:23,548 --> 00:16:24,728
is food-based.
319
00:16:24,813 --> 00:16:26,664
They're very
food-motivated creatures,
320
00:16:26,749 --> 00:16:30,885
as one would probably assume,
considering they're hogs.
321
00:16:31,528 --> 00:16:33,094
Okay.
322
00:16:34,821 --> 00:16:37,586
Something like this,
although it seems fun for her
323
00:16:37,671 --> 00:16:39,463
and enriching,
324
00:16:39,648 --> 00:16:42,033
It won't keep her busy
for very long.
325
00:16:42,171 --> 00:16:45,323
So we'll see what she thinks.
326
00:16:45,408 --> 00:16:47,189
Turn it upside down.
327
00:16:48,250 --> 00:16:49,728
Are you ready?
328
00:16:49,903 --> 00:16:52,041
Hmm? Who's a good girl?
329
00:16:52,750 --> 00:16:54,035
All righty.
330
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,791
Here we go, Nessie pig.
331
00:16:56,947 --> 00:16:58,573
And she's already out.
332
00:16:58,658 --> 00:16:59,822
Let's quick go see her.
333
00:16:59,907 --> 00:17:01,505
come on!
334
00:17:03,209 --> 00:17:05,327
Oh, good girl!
335
00:17:05,732 --> 00:17:07,564
Hi, Nessie pig.
336
00:17:07,794 --> 00:17:09,705
Come check it out.
337
00:17:11,613 --> 00:17:12,831
There you go.
338
00:17:12,954 --> 00:17:15,339
That's a good girl. Ooh!
339
00:17:15,642 --> 00:17:16,674
Get it.
340
00:17:19,643 --> 00:17:22,455
First thing she always does
when exploring something new
341
00:17:22,582 --> 00:17:24,467
is she uses her snout to, like,
342
00:17:24,551 --> 00:17:27,127
nose it and sniff it
and see what's going on.
343
00:17:27,443 --> 00:17:30,829
See, the good stuff
is on the inside.
344
00:17:30,914 --> 00:17:33,775
In order to get her to spend
more time with enrichment items,
345
00:17:33,860 --> 00:17:36,212
it's important to find something
a little bit more challenging
346
00:17:36,296 --> 00:17:37,556
and puzzling for them.
347
00:17:37,796 --> 00:17:39,315
That's why we're having
the shops build
348
00:17:39,399 --> 00:17:41,916
a more engaging enrichment item.
349
00:17:42,468 --> 00:17:43,768
Good girl!
350
00:17:44,615 --> 00:17:47,167
I will never lose
that amazement
351
00:17:47,252 --> 00:17:50,171
in watching how quickly
primate babies develop.
352
00:17:50,256 --> 00:17:53,175
Look at this one.
353
00:17:55,335 --> 00:17:56,452
Good job.
354
00:17:56,537 --> 00:17:59,367
She's still very picky
about her bottle.
355
00:17:59,452 --> 00:18:01,541
I ask you again.
Do you want this?
356
00:18:01,712 --> 00:18:02,796
No. Okay.
357
00:18:11,542 --> 00:18:13,345
Look at this one.
358
00:18:15,399 --> 00:18:17,502
Oh, I see them coming
across the hill.
359
00:18:17,587 --> 00:18:19,916
And, of course,
Gore is leading the group.
360
00:18:21,210 --> 00:18:23,322
Gore... he definitely is the one
361
00:18:23,407 --> 00:18:26,064
that's watching everything
all the time.
362
00:18:26,962 --> 00:18:29,338
He seems like
he's kind of patrolling.
363
00:18:30,221 --> 00:18:32,306
Geladas are very temperamental.
364
00:18:32,421 --> 00:18:34,639
If they notice
any little change,
365
00:18:34,848 --> 00:18:37,478
They will be patrolling
for a little while.
366
00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:40,478
It just might be someone
that looks out of place.
367
00:18:41,735 --> 00:18:45,025
Someone might have
a large hat on.
368
00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:47,777
It could be anything that is
slightly distracting.
369
00:18:49,224 --> 00:18:52,267
Gore is the dominant male
of our large family group.
370
00:18:52,661 --> 00:18:56,080
Last year,
Gore had some health issues.
371
00:18:56,328 --> 00:18:58,502
A cardiac device
had been implanted
372
00:18:58,587 --> 00:19:01,369
So that we can monitor
any possible heart issues.
373
00:19:01,532 --> 00:19:03,483
We were concerned a little bit
because this could
374
00:19:03,665 --> 00:19:04,682
affect breeding.
375
00:19:04,790 --> 00:19:06,588
- Let's glue him up.
- Perfect.
376
00:19:06,786 --> 00:19:09,972
But lately,
he was breeding successfully.
377
00:19:10,057 --> 00:19:12,642
He has sired a brand new baby.
378
00:19:12,727 --> 00:19:14,879
There you can see
little baby eshie
379
00:19:14,964 --> 00:19:16,782
Riding on the back.
380
00:19:16,903 --> 00:19:19,488
I will never lose that amazement
381
00:19:19,573 --> 00:19:23,502
in watching how quickly
primate babies develop.
382
00:19:24,297 --> 00:19:27,306
Eshie has just been
a model student.
383
00:19:27,507 --> 00:19:30,926
She's just ahead of the curve
in every way.
384
00:19:31,026 --> 00:19:34,361
I think that speaks a lot
to Gemma's mothering.
385
00:19:34,462 --> 00:19:37,439
Gemma is our dominant female.
This is not her first baby.
386
00:19:37,524 --> 00:19:40,580
She's had a few.
And I think she's just a pro.
387
00:19:43,024 --> 00:19:46,410
Baby geladas don't so much walk
as they hop and flop.
388
00:19:46,610 --> 00:19:49,095
I sometimes walk in
and they'll be doing headstands.
389
00:19:49,180 --> 00:19:52,066
They love somersaults.
390
00:19:52,298 --> 00:19:53,749
Very energetic.
391
00:19:56,070 --> 00:19:59,267
We have a whole new generation
of geladas growing up here
392
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:00,447
at the Bronx zoo right now.
393
00:20:00,532 --> 00:20:03,088
The fact that we have geladas
at every age level
394
00:20:03,231 --> 00:20:05,752
for people to see,
I feel is very important.
395
00:20:06,028 --> 00:20:07,978
Hi, sweetheart.
What are you doing?
396
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,072
Good morning.
Hi, come here.
397
00:20:33,348 --> 00:20:34,674
Hi.
398
00:20:34,842 --> 00:20:36,939
The pronghorn has been
at the health center
399
00:20:37,024 --> 00:20:38,183
Almost two weeks now.
400
00:20:38,268 --> 00:20:42,424
And she came in
very compromised.
401
00:20:42,598 --> 00:20:44,549
But she's doing much better.
402
00:20:44,642 --> 00:20:47,455
The feeding tube is now out,
and it's our job to get her
403
00:20:47,555 --> 00:20:49,416
Used to nursing from a bottle.
404
00:20:49,501 --> 00:20:51,111
what's this?
405
00:20:51,790 --> 00:20:56,322
We're all cautiously optimistic
about how she's doing.
406
00:20:57,524 --> 00:21:00,977
Every baby feeds
a little bit differently.
407
00:21:01,062 --> 00:21:04,215
They tell us what works,
and we just try to keep up.
408
00:21:04,300 --> 00:21:07,470
She told us she liked
being fed in the dark.
409
00:21:07,684 --> 00:21:09,602
It's just her little quirk.
410
00:21:15,228 --> 00:21:17,880
Today, we're gonna give
the pronghorn access
411
00:21:17,965 --> 00:21:21,448
to the outside enclosure
in the barn.
412
00:21:22,290 --> 00:21:23,474
Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay.
413
00:21:23,559 --> 00:21:25,448
hi, hi, hi.
414
00:21:25,964 --> 00:21:27,248
Did you want
to go in there?
415
00:21:27,333 --> 00:21:29,133
Oh, what a good girl!
416
00:21:31,843 --> 00:21:34,565
Good job. Oh, so good!
417
00:21:35,227 --> 00:21:38,162
Now you can see why she needs
supervised outdoor time.
418
00:21:40,349 --> 00:21:42,200
Pronghorns run really fast.
419
00:21:42,526 --> 00:21:43,977
so...
420
00:21:44,062 --> 00:21:47,870
She has to build up the muscle
to be able to do that.
421
00:21:48,362 --> 00:21:52,030
That was very uncoordinated,
but good practice.
422
00:21:53,125 --> 00:21:55,120
That was good!
423
00:21:56,025 --> 00:21:58,229
I don't want her
to get startled.
424
00:21:58,314 --> 00:22:01,393
I want her to have a positive
experience with being outside
425
00:22:01,478 --> 00:22:05,651
Because we want her to become
more comfortable with noises
426
00:22:05,736 --> 00:22:06,720
That might startle her.
427
00:22:06,812 --> 00:22:08,792
Good girl!
428
00:22:09,193 --> 00:22:12,079
She's gonna have to get used to
planes if she lives in queens.
429
00:22:16,283 --> 00:22:19,369
She's still very picky
about her bottle.
430
00:22:19,454 --> 00:22:24,472
But honestly, if she chooses to
eat the hay, that's way better!
431
00:22:24,557 --> 00:22:25,807
Hay is better!
432
00:22:26,134 --> 00:22:27,685
Yeah.
433
00:22:27,770 --> 00:22:29,755
I ask you again.
Do you want this?
434
00:22:29,877 --> 00:22:31,061
No. Okay.
435
00:22:32,582 --> 00:22:36,409
It's really important that
we get her back with her brother
436
00:22:36,496 --> 00:22:38,348
So that she gets some more cues
437
00:22:38,433 --> 00:22:42,419
On pronghorn behaviors
that I can't emulate.
438
00:22:44,279 --> 00:22:46,364
Whoo-hoo!
That was good.
439
00:22:54,025 --> 00:22:55,476
There he is,
there he is.
440
00:23:02,472 --> 00:23:04,386
Every single day we come in,
441
00:23:04,471 --> 00:23:06,956
We check to make sure that
everybody is alive and healthy,
442
00:23:07,041 --> 00:23:08,959
We check to make sure
that everybody has water,
443
00:23:09,044 --> 00:23:11,432
and we also make sure
that everybody is fed.
444
00:23:11,517 --> 00:23:13,736
These are all some of the newer
babies that were born, right?
445
00:23:13,820 --> 00:23:18,875
There's new babies in there,
some brand-new babies in here.
446
00:23:18,976 --> 00:23:20,960
These are
mangrove pit vipers.
447
00:23:21,075 --> 00:23:22,626
They were born yesterday.
448
00:23:22,711 --> 00:23:25,130
A lot of the snakes
arrived gravid, or pregnant,
449
00:23:25,215 --> 00:23:27,180
and they've been giving birth.
450
00:23:27,265 --> 00:23:29,617
So we were at 157 snakes,
451
00:23:29,702 --> 00:23:32,321
and now we have
about 190 snakes.
452
00:23:35,997 --> 00:23:37,768
Venomous snakes
are born venomous,
453
00:23:37,853 --> 00:23:41,139
and they are just as toxic
as their parents.
454
00:23:44,565 --> 00:23:45,808
So, today it looks like
455
00:23:45,892 --> 00:23:48,268
I'm feeding the
red-tailed bamboo pit vipers.
456
00:23:49,660 --> 00:23:53,080
These are just baby mice.
Give them these.
457
00:24:01,758 --> 00:24:03,613
They will often bite like that
and then release,
458
00:24:03,697 --> 00:24:07,261
and you have to wait for them
to actually bite and hold.
459
00:24:08,393 --> 00:24:09,745
Flat-nosed pit viper.
460
00:24:09,830 --> 00:24:10,980
There you go.
461
00:24:13,220 --> 00:24:14,971
There you go. Good hit.
462
00:24:18,863 --> 00:24:20,147
There you go.
463
00:24:22,368 --> 00:24:23,952
Good hit.
464
00:24:24,037 --> 00:24:25,922
The adults are mostly
eating pretty well.
465
00:24:26,007 --> 00:24:28,025
The babies can be
a bit more difficult.
466
00:24:34,851 --> 00:24:36,253
So close.
467
00:24:40,996 --> 00:24:43,949
I'm gonna call it on him
for right now.
468
00:24:44,034 --> 00:24:46,018
Been here over an hour.
469
00:24:46,103 --> 00:24:48,542
This is the second snake
I've tried to feed today.
470
00:24:48,627 --> 00:24:52,479
And there's like
26 more up there.
471
00:24:53,607 --> 00:24:56,159
How's this working out
over here... this setup?
472
00:24:56,244 --> 00:24:57,598
Now that we've got
the rack system,
473
00:24:57,682 --> 00:24:59,166
100 percent better.
474
00:25:01,166 --> 00:25:04,018
We've lost a total
of four adults,
475
00:25:04,103 --> 00:25:06,220
Two that were
obviously sick
476
00:25:06,328 --> 00:25:08,643
and then two that we didn't
know anything was wrong.
477
00:25:08,946 --> 00:25:10,263
We've had four deaths,
478
00:25:10,348 --> 00:25:12,833
and we've submitted
those snakes for necropsy,
479
00:25:12,918 --> 00:25:15,722
and hopefully that'll reveal
cause of death.
480
00:25:16,552 --> 00:25:19,625
This is another side
of the exotic pet trade
481
00:25:19,710 --> 00:25:21,581
That people don't think about.
482
00:25:21,666 --> 00:25:25,252
You have no control over what
these animals are exposed to
483
00:25:25,337 --> 00:25:27,633
When they're sold in the trade,
484
00:25:27,718 --> 00:25:30,018
When they go from one person
to another.
485
00:25:30,700 --> 00:25:33,619
We've been in
regular contact with D.E.C.
486
00:25:33,704 --> 00:25:37,158
If they say he gets
the snakes back, that's fine.
487
00:25:37,243 --> 00:25:39,300
We'll pack everything up
and send it back.
488
00:25:39,518 --> 00:25:41,203
On the other hand,
if it's a forfeiture,
489
00:25:41,287 --> 00:25:43,972
that goal would be
to disperse the snakes
490
00:25:44,058 --> 00:25:46,410
as quickly as possible
to other institutions
491
00:25:46,644 --> 00:25:48,456
To take the burden off of us.
492
00:25:48,957 --> 00:25:51,909
My main concern
is for the animals.
493
00:25:51,994 --> 00:25:53,211
However it's resolved,
494
00:25:53,296 --> 00:25:55,715
I just hope
the animals fare well.
495
00:25:57,829 --> 00:26:00,472
We're making
an enrichment device
496
00:26:00,557 --> 00:26:02,809
For the red river hogs.
497
00:26:02,951 --> 00:26:04,776
Check it out, Nessie pig.
498
00:26:26,904 --> 00:26:28,689
We're making
an enrichment device
499
00:26:28,937 --> 00:26:30,321
For the red river hogs.
500
00:26:30,406 --> 00:26:32,524
We want to try to accomplish
something that spins
501
00:26:32,609 --> 00:26:33,863
and that we can fill with treats
502
00:26:33,947 --> 00:26:35,731
to give them something
to play with,
503
00:26:35,816 --> 00:26:37,467
Something different,
something new.
504
00:26:40,370 --> 00:26:42,460
We're gonna mount it
wherever the keepers want.
505
00:26:42,636 --> 00:26:44,518
The hogs will be able
to spin this,
506
00:26:44,686 --> 00:26:47,032
and the food, treats, whatever
we put in there, will fall out.
507
00:26:47,116 --> 00:26:48,981
So the only thing we have left
is just to drill a bunch
508
00:26:49,065 --> 00:26:51,903
of different-size holes in it,
and that's it.
509
00:27:04,233 --> 00:27:06,182
Try it out, see how it works.
510
00:27:06,357 --> 00:27:07,956
Got stuff coming out.
511
00:27:10,834 --> 00:27:12,656
So, the original picture of this
512
00:27:12,741 --> 00:27:14,492
Was actually mocked up
out of wood.
513
00:27:14,576 --> 00:27:16,494
So these guys
would have ate the wood.
514
00:27:16,578 --> 00:27:19,231
We're hoping that the plastic
will deter them
515
00:27:19,315 --> 00:27:20,732
and they'll just stick
to the treats.
516
00:27:20,816 --> 00:27:21,833
Who knows?
We'll see what happens.
517
00:27:21,917 --> 00:27:23,683
And if they don't like it,
518
00:27:23,768 --> 00:27:25,847
We'll change it and make it
out of something else.
519
00:27:33,987 --> 00:27:36,672
Hey, Nessie pig.
What are you doing, Nessie?
520
00:27:36,865 --> 00:27:38,097
Who's a good pig?
521
00:27:38,228 --> 00:27:39,698
Oh, you're a good pig.
522
00:27:42,330 --> 00:27:43,815
Something like that.
523
00:27:48,651 --> 00:27:50,138
I think that will be
high enough for her.
524
00:27:50,222 --> 00:27:52,581
If we have to make it lower,
we can make it lower.
525
00:27:52,715 --> 00:27:54,442
Red river hogs
tend to use their snouts
526
00:27:54,526 --> 00:27:56,368
For manipulating most
of their environment.
527
00:27:56,456 --> 00:27:59,537
It's kind of how
they move things around.
528
00:28:02,791 --> 00:28:04,609
Is that the easiest
it's gonna spin?
529
00:28:04,693 --> 00:28:06,311
For now.
We can make it easier.
530
00:28:06,395 --> 00:28:08,346
She's super strong.
She is.
531
00:28:08,430 --> 00:28:10,048
But she might
not realize it spins.
532
00:28:10,132 --> 00:28:11,616
Think we should just go ahead
and let her try it?
533
00:28:11,700 --> 00:28:12,784
I think we should
try it now
534
00:28:12,868 --> 00:28:14,719
Because I think
she'll be able to spin it.
535
00:28:14,803 --> 00:28:16,621
It's not gonna be, like,
crazy spinning,
536
00:28:16,705 --> 00:28:19,224
but I think she'll
be able to do it.
537
00:28:19,308 --> 00:28:20,882
I almost feel like it's better
if it's a little tighter.
538
00:28:20,966 --> 00:28:23,042
It'll be a little bit
more challenging.
539
00:28:27,097 --> 00:28:28,300
That's probably plenty.
540
00:28:34,556 --> 00:28:36,741
Okay, Kristin.
Release the pig.
541
00:28:38,543 --> 00:28:40,964
Check it out,
Nessie pig.
542
00:28:41,226 --> 00:28:42,226
Right over.
543
00:28:55,947 --> 00:28:57,331
Good girl. Get it.
544
00:28:57,579 --> 00:28:59,464
Get in this.
She spun it.
545
00:28:59,548 --> 00:29:01,266
She did.
546
00:29:01,350 --> 00:29:02,534
Ooh!
547
00:29:05,154 --> 00:29:09,115
So, she's using her
mouth to rotate the pvc bar.
548
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:12,620
And so then the parrot mix
is falling through the holes.
549
00:29:12,709 --> 00:29:14,493
The treats then
fall into the bedding,
550
00:29:14,663 --> 00:29:16,787
and then she could forage
for them.
551
00:29:16,965 --> 00:29:20,752
Again, that's to mimic
that natural foraging behavior.
552
00:29:24,339 --> 00:29:26,324
My favorite part of giving them
new enrichment
553
00:29:26,408 --> 00:29:29,094
is watching them
try to figure it out.
554
00:29:29,178 --> 00:29:30,395
She's trying to think
through it,
555
00:29:30,479 --> 00:29:33,732
See what the best way is
to manipulate the toy
556
00:29:33,816 --> 00:29:37,395
So that she can get
the treats that are inside.
557
00:29:37,628 --> 00:29:40,247
Looks like Vanessa's having
a pretty good time.
558
00:29:40,354 --> 00:29:42,505
Anything involving food
is a good time.
559
00:29:50,430 --> 00:29:51,447
Look.
560
00:29:51,633 --> 00:29:53,160
Look.
561
00:29:53,878 --> 00:29:56,597
It says "ostrich"
right there.
562
00:30:06,465 --> 00:30:07,899
We got test results back
563
00:30:07,983 --> 00:30:10,402
from the university of Florida
molecular lab,
564
00:30:10,486 --> 00:30:14,339
and this particular virus
turned out to be nidovirus.
565
00:30:14,423 --> 00:30:15,573
Okay.
566
00:30:15,832 --> 00:30:17,776
Nidovirus is a viral disease
567
00:30:17,860 --> 00:30:21,079
That causes respiratory problems
in snakes.
568
00:30:21,163 --> 00:30:24,379
There's no cure. You can't
rid them of the disease.
569
00:30:24,733 --> 00:30:29,653
And eventually, the virus
results in death to the snakes.
570
00:30:29,738 --> 00:30:31,823
I need another set
of these.
571
00:30:34,743 --> 00:30:37,695
We have to test the rest of
the confiscated snakes.
572
00:30:37,779 --> 00:30:40,403
We don't know
who's infected or who's not.
573
00:30:40,778 --> 00:30:43,368
And that's a problem
in the exotic-pet trade.
574
00:30:43,452 --> 00:30:46,942
There is no monitoring
of these animals.
575
00:30:47,532 --> 00:30:51,819
We have to do diagnostics
on a lot of snakes.
576
00:30:51,927 --> 00:30:54,060
We have about 180 in the room,
577
00:30:54,145 --> 00:30:56,621
and if they're negative
and don't have the virus,
578
00:30:56,723 --> 00:30:58,583
we would isolate them further.
579
00:30:58,739 --> 00:31:03,029
Animals that are positive would
remain in the existing room
580
00:31:03,114 --> 00:31:05,890
and possibly be euthanized.
581
00:31:06,473 --> 00:31:08,026
All right,
what are we starting with?
582
00:31:08,110 --> 00:31:10,962
We'll do these two
gaboons to get them out of the way.
583
00:31:13,448 --> 00:31:16,401
Put some pressure on it so it
can't do that turnaround thing.
584
00:31:16,485 --> 00:31:17,635
You got it?
585
00:31:17,719 --> 00:31:21,573
In order to pull samples
for this viral testing,
586
00:31:21,658 --> 00:31:27,190
We have to swab the oral cavity
back in the esophagus.
587
00:31:27,296 --> 00:31:28,447
Okay, got it.
588
00:31:28,532 --> 00:31:29,782
- Good?
- Yep.
589
00:31:29,974 --> 00:31:31,878
We'll send the samples
to the university of Florida,
590
00:31:31,962 --> 00:31:34,414
and we're hoping they can
give us test results
591
00:31:34,499 --> 00:31:36,451
Within a couple of weeks' time.
592
00:31:36,672 --> 00:31:37,862
Okay.
593
00:31:37,947 --> 00:31:40,824
178 left to go.
594
00:31:44,112 --> 00:31:45,463
Hello, little lady.
595
00:31:45,547 --> 00:31:48,979
Everybody has a different
technique with the bottle.
596
00:31:50,218 --> 00:31:51,518
Not ready yet?
597
00:32:04,946 --> 00:32:06,682
Hey!
598
00:32:07,615 --> 00:32:09,479
What are you doing,
buddy, huh?
599
00:32:10,394 --> 00:32:12,045
We got visitors.
600
00:32:12,130 --> 00:32:13,541
Don't be shy.
601
00:32:14,688 --> 00:32:17,706
Today, we're gonna go feed
the male baby pronghorn.
602
00:32:18,958 --> 00:32:20,443
I know. Who's that?
603
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:21,776
Who's that?
604
00:32:21,946 --> 00:32:25,232
And every day is a
new adventure with this baby.
605
00:32:25,434 --> 00:32:27,485
Starts every morning at 6:30.
606
00:32:27,570 --> 00:32:30,502
We come in.
We give him his first bottle.
607
00:32:30,621 --> 00:32:36,476
Right now, he's eating about
25 ounces a day.
608
00:32:36,561 --> 00:32:39,113
He eats four
or five times a day.
609
00:32:39,198 --> 00:32:41,869
He needs a lot of attention.
He needs a lot of care.
610
00:32:41,954 --> 00:32:43,405
I guess it's just like
raising a kid.
611
00:32:43,490 --> 00:32:46,689
You know, you want to see it
just be healthy and happy.
612
00:32:46,774 --> 00:32:48,157
That's it. No more.
613
00:32:48,242 --> 00:32:49,326
Clean-plate club, huh?
614
00:32:49,411 --> 00:32:50,929
He is thriving.
615
00:32:51,014 --> 00:32:53,541
Hopefully, within the next week
or so, we'll actually be able
616
00:32:53,626 --> 00:32:55,543
to get him on exhibit
so that he can run around
617
00:32:55,632 --> 00:32:57,817
and do the things
a normal pronghorn would do.
618
00:32:57,902 --> 00:32:59,620
With any luck,
his sister will be back.
619
00:32:59,705 --> 00:33:01,891
So hopefully, maybe we can put
the two of them out there
620
00:33:01,975 --> 00:33:03,492
To do the same thing.
621
00:33:10,474 --> 00:33:12,806
The plan for
feeding the pronghorn
622
00:33:12,891 --> 00:33:15,478
is to get her
used to you,
623
00:33:15,563 --> 00:33:18,415
make her comfortable
with you feeding her.
624
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:21,807
And I want to stay as much
out of the picture as possible.
625
00:33:21,892 --> 00:33:22,621
Okay.
626
00:33:22,706 --> 00:33:26,726
Because the pronghorn that
we have here has been so picky,
627
00:33:26,811 --> 00:33:30,298
It's really important
that we integrate Donna
628
00:33:30,391 --> 00:33:33,143
from the Queens Zoo
as one of the feeders
629
00:33:33,228 --> 00:33:36,244
while the pronghorn is still
here at the health center.
630
00:33:36,329 --> 00:33:39,702
This way, we're not changing
too many things at once
631
00:33:39,787 --> 00:33:42,272
When she goes back
to the Queens Zoo.
632
00:33:42,357 --> 00:33:43,884
Hello, little lady.
633
00:33:44,072 --> 00:33:46,957
Hello! Hello, mama!
634
00:33:47,213 --> 00:33:49,832
Hello. How are you doing?
635
00:33:49,917 --> 00:33:51,568
How are you doing?
636
00:33:51,653 --> 00:33:55,275
So, I now have to take
whatever Lisa was doing before
637
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:56,878
and whoever else
was feeding her,
638
00:33:57,446 --> 00:33:59,577
Take all that information
and try and incorporate it
639
00:33:59,662 --> 00:34:01,710
into what I'm gonna do,
640
00:34:01,795 --> 00:34:03,480
Because everybody has a
different technique
641
00:34:03,565 --> 00:34:05,359
With the bottle.
642
00:34:06,354 --> 00:34:08,806
Hey.
643
00:34:08,891 --> 00:34:10,587
Not ready yet?
644
00:34:11,367 --> 00:34:12,450
Come on, baby.
645
00:34:21,428 --> 00:34:23,279
I know.
646
00:34:23,364 --> 00:34:24,720
Whenever you're ready.
647
00:34:26,267 --> 00:34:29,908
If I start sounding like I'm
stressed, she picks up on that
648
00:34:29,993 --> 00:34:32,252
and she wants nothing
to do with me,
649
00:34:33,158 --> 00:34:36,377
So I just have to keep it nice
and light and airy
650
00:34:36,485 --> 00:34:39,804
Until she eventually comes
across and trusts me, you know.
651
00:34:39,889 --> 00:34:41,607
Well done, sweetheart.
652
00:34:45,502 --> 00:34:46,920
Yay!
653
00:34:47,177 --> 00:34:49,095
That is amazing!
I think.
654
00:34:49,180 --> 00:34:50,564
Yeah,
she did really well.
655
00:34:50,649 --> 00:34:53,556
The pronghorn
has done unbelievably well.
656
00:34:53,641 --> 00:34:55,595
She's running around.
657
00:34:55,764 --> 00:34:57,923
She's doing little
hippity-hop things,
658
00:34:58,008 --> 00:35:02,161
All normal pronghorn things,
which is fantastic,
659
00:35:02,246 --> 00:35:04,264
Which means she needs
more space.
660
00:35:04,439 --> 00:35:07,041
So she needs to go back
to the Queens Zoo.
661
00:35:07,126 --> 00:35:10,979
So it's amazing that she's going
back to be with her brother.
662
00:35:17,427 --> 00:35:19,853
They're huge.
Oh, my gosh.
663
00:35:26,255 --> 00:35:28,416
Into the hot zone.
664
00:35:29,461 --> 00:35:30,806
Wow.
665
00:35:32,289 --> 00:35:34,841
And really, they look
and act normal...
666
00:35:34,994 --> 00:35:37,212
till they don't,
you know.
667
00:35:37,523 --> 00:35:39,141
So, the test results are back,
668
00:35:39,226 --> 00:35:41,759
and nearly 3/4 of
the snakes tested
669
00:35:41,887 --> 00:35:43,470
were positive for nidovirus.
670
00:35:44,388 --> 00:35:46,080
You know, it's kind of
heartbreaking
671
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:47,194
to put in all that effort
672
00:35:47,279 --> 00:35:49,470
and then find out
that a lot of the snakes
673
00:35:49,555 --> 00:35:50,872
are gonna be difficult to place
674
00:35:51,027 --> 00:35:54,416
or that they may
even be euthanized.
675
00:35:55,290 --> 00:35:58,309
This issue might have
started with one animal
676
00:35:58,455 --> 00:36:00,773
That the individual
brought into his collection
677
00:36:00,858 --> 00:36:03,944
That was carrying the nidovirus.
678
00:36:04,324 --> 00:36:05,712
That could have exposed
679
00:36:05,797 --> 00:36:08,877
the rest of his healthy
collection to this.
680
00:36:09,131 --> 00:36:12,350
Well, it's certainly not
the ending we were hoping for.
681
00:36:12,614 --> 00:36:14,798
Yeah, yeah,
absolutely.
682
00:36:14,975 --> 00:36:17,711
The good thing is that there's
a percentage of the animals
683
00:36:17,830 --> 00:36:20,485
that we were able to clear,
684
00:36:20,670 --> 00:36:23,133
and other zoos
stepped up to take them
685
00:36:23,218 --> 00:36:25,704
and incorporate them
into their breeding programs.
686
00:36:25,789 --> 00:36:27,673
And there's animals
that we were interested in
687
00:36:27,758 --> 00:36:29,266
That we'll be able to keep.
688
00:36:29,773 --> 00:36:32,657
Out of all the snakes that we
got in this confiscation,
689
00:36:32,742 --> 00:36:35,836
it looks like we're gonna keep
13 here at the Bronx zoo.
690
00:36:35,921 --> 00:36:37,939
So, the mang vipers
tested negative?
691
00:36:38,024 --> 00:36:39,259
Mangs are
a negative, yeah.
692
00:36:39,343 --> 00:36:40,625
That was lucky.
693
00:36:40,710 --> 00:36:41,617
Yeah.
694
00:36:41,702 --> 00:36:44,469
The mangs, of course,
were the ones we most were
695
00:36:44,554 --> 00:36:47,239
hoping we could add
to our existing breeding group.
696
00:36:47,337 --> 00:36:49,022
The others that we're
planning on keeping
697
00:36:49,107 --> 00:36:50,791
are a little
less-frequently seen in zoos.
698
00:36:50,876 --> 00:36:53,528
For instance, like these
bothriopsis bilineata.
699
00:36:53,613 --> 00:36:55,688
They're a real pretty
central American species.
700
00:36:55,773 --> 00:36:57,094
They are really nice.
701
00:36:57,179 --> 00:36:59,946
And the brongersma's pit viper
pair up there.
702
00:37:00,031 --> 00:37:01,664
That's a recently
described species.
703
00:37:01,802 --> 00:37:04,172
I think 2014 is when
they were described.
704
00:37:04,257 --> 00:37:05,576
So I don't think there's
any of them
705
00:37:05,660 --> 00:37:06,845
in a.Z.A. Collections
right now.
706
00:37:06,929 --> 00:37:08,880
Really?
707
00:37:14,012 --> 00:37:16,110
This is a snake box.
708
00:37:19,219 --> 00:37:21,219
Some of the stakes
that we are sending out
709
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:23,461
are absolutely gorgeous.
710
00:37:23,567 --> 00:37:26,571
I mean, some of them
are just spectacular.
711
00:37:27,429 --> 00:37:30,482
Preliminary arrangements
have been made with Cameron park zoo,
712
00:37:30,699 --> 00:37:34,571
Toledo zoo, Dallas zoo,
Nashville zoo,
713
00:37:34,663 --> 00:37:36,766
and then we have
a couple of other facilities
714
00:37:36,851 --> 00:37:38,133
We're looking at.
715
00:37:38,218 --> 00:37:40,036
Their interested
in a variety of species,
716
00:37:40,121 --> 00:37:42,639
Some of the mangrove pit vipers,
717
00:37:42,724 --> 00:37:45,143
The red-tailed bamboo
pit vipers,
718
00:37:45,228 --> 00:37:47,180
Sidewinders.
719
00:37:47,290 --> 00:37:49,883
That's why we get
involved in situations like this.
720
00:37:49,968 --> 00:37:51,805
It's always about the welfare
of the animal.
721
00:37:51,890 --> 00:37:52,735
We'll step in.
722
00:37:52,820 --> 00:37:54,938
We'll do the best we can
and try to guarantee
723
00:37:55,023 --> 00:37:57,642
that these animals have
a good life from here on in.
724
00:38:01,063 --> 00:38:03,617
Today is the day that
we're going to bring home
725
00:38:03,702 --> 00:38:04,907
the female pronghorn.
726
00:38:04,992 --> 00:38:05,828
Hi!
727
00:38:05,913 --> 00:38:07,631
What do you think, huh?
Nervous.
728
00:38:07,716 --> 00:38:09,446
He may not know what she is.
729
00:38:09,531 --> 00:38:11,078
He may go,
"I don't know what that is.
730
00:38:11,163 --> 00:38:12,962
I've never seen that.
All I've seen is humans."
731
00:38:13,046 --> 00:38:15,352
You're gonna go hide,
aren't you?
732
00:38:29,773 --> 00:38:31,189
Good morning.
Oh, boy.
733
00:38:33,596 --> 00:38:35,688
It's pronghorn's to-go box.
734
00:38:35,773 --> 00:38:37,558
Look at that.
735
00:38:37,643 --> 00:38:39,064
Got bottles and stuff
in there, too, right?
736
00:38:39,148 --> 00:38:40,131
Uh-huh.
737
00:38:40,216 --> 00:38:41,758
We're at the Bronx zoo
health center,
738
00:38:41,922 --> 00:38:43,579
and today's the day that we're
going to bring home
739
00:38:43,663 --> 00:38:45,414
The female pronghorn.
740
00:38:46,142 --> 00:38:49,261
It's nothing exciting at all.
It's just a crate.
741
00:38:49,518 --> 00:38:52,104
One, two, three.
Easy peasy.
742
00:38:52,367 --> 00:38:55,452
This is the last milestone
that I'm directly involved in,
743
00:38:55,537 --> 00:38:57,571
Which is bringing her
to the queens zoo
744
00:38:57,656 --> 00:39:00,008
and helping ease her transition.
745
00:39:00,563 --> 00:39:04,750
I am an anchor. I am something
she is comfortable with.
746
00:39:06,317 --> 00:39:08,635
Pronghorn are herd animals.
747
00:39:09,095 --> 00:39:10,852
Just like any other herd animal,
748
00:39:10,937 --> 00:39:13,664
being alone is not
their natural state.
749
00:39:13,883 --> 00:39:15,601
So being with her brother...
750
00:39:15,686 --> 00:39:18,992
that is one step toward
being reunited with the herd.
751
00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:21,353
She's here!
752
00:39:24,242 --> 00:39:26,193
It's been two months
since she's been gone.
753
00:39:26,519 --> 00:39:29,633
And it's gonna be great
to reunite her with her brother.
754
00:39:29,881 --> 00:39:31,398
Hi!
755
00:39:31,483 --> 00:39:33,969
We want to introduce her
to her holding space.
756
00:39:34,054 --> 00:39:36,139
And then once she
gets used to that,
757
00:39:36,224 --> 00:39:37,508
We'll introduce her brother,
758
00:39:37,593 --> 00:39:40,938
and we'll let them kind of get
reacquainted with each other.
759
00:39:41,540 --> 00:39:43,273
What a good girl!
760
00:39:45,122 --> 00:39:46,488
What do you think, huh?
761
00:39:49,217 --> 00:39:50,601
Nervous.
762
00:39:50,686 --> 00:39:51,938
You're gonna go hide,
aren't you?
763
00:39:52,022 --> 00:39:54,438
I think because
they are a herd animal,
764
00:39:54,523 --> 00:39:56,375
They're gonna want
to get together immediately
765
00:39:56,460 --> 00:39:58,111
and do what herd animals do.
766
00:39:58,196 --> 00:40:00,290
You think I'm gonna
protect you? Who's that?
767
00:40:00,374 --> 00:40:02,943
Or he may not know
what she is.
768
00:40:03,028 --> 00:40:04,679
He may go,
"I don't know what that is.
769
00:40:04,772 --> 00:40:06,939
I've never seen that.
All I've seen is humans."
770
00:40:08,331 --> 00:40:10,449
Now he's better.
Now he's just curious.
771
00:40:11,056 --> 00:40:12,376
Should we do it?
Yeah.
772
00:40:12,460 --> 00:40:14,312
- Come on.
- Might as well.
773
00:40:23,087 --> 00:40:24,504
I'm not gonna
protect you.
774
00:40:37,968 --> 00:40:39,534
Got a little skip,
huh?
775
00:40:42,773 --> 00:40:45,125
Lots of sniffin'
going on.
776
00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:46,860
Maybe he remembers her
from two months ago.
777
00:40:46,944 --> 00:40:48,762
Maybe she remembers him.
Who knows?
778
00:40:48,846 --> 00:40:50,330
That was truly
a Kodak moment.
779
00:40:50,414 --> 00:40:52,032
Mm-hmm.
780
00:40:52,116 --> 00:40:53,733
But they seem to be
getting along great.
781
00:40:55,974 --> 00:40:57,558
"I want to play with you."
782
00:40:57,721 --> 00:40:58,938
Come on!
783
00:40:59,022 --> 00:41:00,140
"Let's play."
784
00:41:00,486 --> 00:41:02,242
I think we see who's
in charge, huh?
785
00:41:02,338 --> 00:41:04,577
Nice!
786
00:41:06,864 --> 00:41:10,119
It went better than
I could have ever hoped for.
787
00:41:10,299 --> 00:41:13,585
A little bit of head-butting,
which is just normal behavior.
788
00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:15,021
She pushed him
around a little bit,
789
00:41:15,105 --> 00:41:17,524
Which I don't think
he was expecting.
790
00:41:17,700 --> 00:41:19,059
But it was good to see
'cause that means
791
00:41:19,143 --> 00:41:20,527
She can stand up for herself.
792
00:41:20,611 --> 00:41:22,729
But other than that,
it was just perfect.
793
00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:24,030
Oh!
Oh, oh!
794
00:41:24,114 --> 00:41:25,865
Oh!
Oh, okay.
795
00:41:25,949 --> 00:41:27,634
He's like,
"that's enough of that."
796
00:41:27,718 --> 00:41:28,868
He's like,
"I have headgear."
797
00:41:28,952 --> 00:41:30,085
Mm-hmm.
798
00:41:31,522 --> 00:41:33,540
Next step would be
to put them on exhibit.
799
00:41:33,624 --> 00:41:36,775
We could see them run and play
and just be happy and healthy.
800
00:41:36,900 --> 00:41:38,345
- Doing good, right?
- Yeah!
801
00:41:38,429 --> 00:41:39,861
I think so.
801
00:41:40,305 --> 00:42:40,288
