I am continually impressed by the skillful work you and your fellow keepers do with your charges, keeping them healthy, comfortable, and at ease both in their exhibits and behind the scenes, where your "real" work goes on. Thanks so much for the blog. I'm looking forward to seeing baby Sukari out with her mother! Great blog, John!

It sounds like halter-training for baby okapis is a lot like halter-training for baby horses. I think it's so interesting to compare handling and training methods between wild and domestic critters. In some ways they can be so similar, and in other ways they are so totally different!! I assume this comes from the fact that wild animals are after all wild, and you just can't take any behavior for granted. Thanks again for telling everyone about the work you do!! I think we all really enjoy hearing about it! Thanks for the report!! It sounds like halter-training for baby okapis is a lot like halter-training for baby horses.
