The Animals' Point of View
It might seem obvious, but it's difficult for us as humans to perceive the entirety of our surroundings the same way the animals do. A challenge for animal care professionals, we have to consider many aspects of the experience to determine the best ways to care for our animals.

Conflict Management
There is a combination of factors at play when we evaluate how to deal with conflict. We each have a natural tendency, a role to play, and a current objective in the conflict. It may not be comfortable, but we all need to find a way to navigate it.

The Favorite Trainer
People like to surround themselves with people that they like. Every once in a while, we make a particularly strong bond with one special person. Animals do the same! They have preferences and people with whom they'd prefer to spend their time. Who knew?

Leadership and Animal Training
It might sound like and odd pairing, but it's interesting to see how much overlap there can be in the skills that make a good leader and those that make a good animal trainer. It's more similar than you might realize!

Customer Reviews
I don’t even work in zoology and it’s still interesting!
Lori is funny and lively in these train-of-thought dives into zoological topics. Runtimes are just the right length and she always provides context and background to make sense of everything.
Great job!
I’ve really enjoyed listening to episodes of the AquatiZoo podcast. During quarantine I have a requirement to complete some work from home hours. I find this to be a very nice break from writing and Keeper talks. Keep up the good work!
Informative
The clean version. This podcast provides an inside look at public zoos and aquariums, and features wide-ranging topics. A great choice for anyone interested in how things work in this field, and especially for those who may want to pursue a career.
