Description

COVID-19 did not cause disruption on just the human population, but it also took a toll on some of our animal friends. Amazing Wildlife breaks down what happened when a troop of gorillas tested positive for COVID-19, and how wildlife care specialists at the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Zoo Safari Park kept wildlife healthy during a pandemic. Hosts Rick and Ebone speak with Dr. Lauren Howard, associate director of veterinary services at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, to discuss how San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance became one of the first to begin using a COVID-19 vaccine approved for animals.
