Description
As the rest of the country became aware of the virus spreading in hard hit Washington state, the Seattle Aquarium was one of the first zoological facilities in the U.S. to announce it was closing to the public. Fortunately for the aquarium, their new Director of Life Sciences, Grant Abel, is all too familiar with dealing with regional pandemics from his previous posts in Asia. Grant describes the difficult decision process, the evolving plans, and the fiscal and operational challenges to ensuring the aquarium's collection of fish, marine mammals, birds, and staff members are well cared for as the crisis unfolds and as the medical and public health community hope to "flatten the curve." It's a developing story that is being repeated at zoological facilities throughout the world. That Sounds Wild: Baby Prairie Dogs. Frank Buck Zoo.
