Rise and shine — it’s time for a wild start to your day! ☀️🐾

In this episode of Connect, we’re stepping into the boots of Mary, our behavioral husbandry coordinator at the Detroit Zoo. Behavioral husbandry at the Detroit Zoo means everything involving the care and well-being of the animals. 

From walking donkeys to helping giraffes hit new training milestones (with snacks involved, of course), Mary’s mornings are anything but ordinary.

She even makes time to prep enrichment treats for polar bears—all before lunch!

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how behavioral husbandry helps animals thrive, and how teamwork makes it all happen.
