iZoofari Chat: Wild Animal Park Field Research
Posted at 1:42 pm August 15, 2007 by Dennis Corbran
NEW! iZoofari Chats are an occasional series of interviews that put you in touch with the people who work for the Zoo and Wild Animal Park. Current subscribers to either the Zoo or Wild Animal Park podcast feeds will also get the iZoofari Chats.
Caroline Pitt and Blair Roberts of the Behavioral Biology Division of CRES take us out into the East Africa field exhibit at the Wild Animal Park to talk about their research on the animals who call it home. (15:37)
Here’s more information about Caroline’s study.

I thought this was a very interesting pod cast. I am very interested in ungulates and sub-ungulates. I am a college student and I am majoring in mammalogy, ethology, and conservation biology and planning to become a zoo keeper. I thought it was really amazing how complex the Nile Lechwes social system really is, and the behavior of forming alliances and chasing away other males is really interesting since it is found among dolphins and primates. There is so much to know about ungulates and it fascinates me how their social systems work. Keep up the great work in decoding the behavior of the Nile Lechwe! Very interesting study.
