About The Secrets to Treating Aging Elephants
Caring for the world’s most dangerous, massive, and unique animals is no simple task. This documentary steps inside the Utah's Hogle Zoo to see the ingenious, often challenging methods keepers and vets use to provide daily medical care to animals ranging from tiny toads to enormous African elephants. We witness the extraordinary dedication required, from hiding 200 daily arthritis pills inside bananas for a 55-year-old elephant, to the crucial, high-stakes training of young African lions to accept a necessary injection. See how keepers build trust and use positive reinforcement to ensure these creatures willingly participate in their own care, allowing for low-stress procedures like blood draws that contribute to world-changing scientific research into diseases like cancer.
