Libby是個年輕的女寶寶
現在她的生活已經到了
需要從媽媽的肚子裡吐出來的階段
看她多可愛
她在吐出一切
你看看 哇
不酷嗎 你好,歡迎
目標是把這隻雞帶回家
牠們在外面看見
但從來沒有在外面
兩隻寶寶都很害怕出門
去年11月
Ernie患上腦癌
完全是眼睛
我知道 側眼睛
他在訓練期間很堅持
我們可以在他的心臟上
實現超聲波測試
好孩子
如果要求孩子畫一張圖像
可能他們會畫一隻動物在酒吧後面
我們必須把這張圖像改變
我真的很享受
因為我們跟這些人的關係變得更加堅固
我知道,牠不喜歡門
來吧,女士
只為了讓人看見,不足以保留動物和展示
必須有更高的目標
對我們來說,是在野生動物的保存
你認真的嗎
普通市民從來不會得到
你會得到的東西
好孩子
就是每天看到背後的一切
這就是我們在布里迪丹布朗做的
在野生動物中,媽媽會把牠帶走
或者把牠分開
這是一個很困難的過程
其實有些狗狗
不會過得了牠們的懷孕過程
我們會嘗試讓這個過程
更容易給Libby
這些都是Libby的食物
在這裡的一整天
我們要確保
這餵食物的重量是正確的
你好,寶寶
這是甚麼?是攝影機嗎
真可愛
Libby在醫院
為了完成她的懷孕過程
我們想讓她在水裡懷孕
但她沒有如我們想像中那麼快
她在看著你們
Libby需要吃所有的魚
因為就像所有的動物
她永遠都不能吃母親的牛奶
來吧
Libby是我三、四歲的寶寶
我曾經跟她一起工作
她跟她父母是很好的混血兒
真乖
她很聰明
她像她媽媽一樣有訓練
她像她爸爸一樣很有食慾
跟星期天的差別很大
她真的很聰明和甜蜜
我無法不覺得她很可愛
為了懷孕
說吧
跟一隻剛開始學習的海獅一起工作
真的很刺激
因為你幫助她訓練那種動物
你看,那是你
你真勇敢
Libby的魚吸收了
所以我們要讓她待在醫院
一段時間
為她教她一些基本的行為
以確保當她回到水裡時
她不會再為母親做護理
我的天,牠看起來像一隻蝙蝠
現在我們正準備
為季節開放幼兒園
這件事讓人很緊張
因為接下來幾天
我們要做的一切都要做
幼兒園是一項季節的展覽
每個冬季
不太受寒冷的動物
都會進入冬季養殖場
每個春天
我們會帶動物進入冬季養殖場
帶牠們到幼兒園
看起來不錯
看起來不錯? 對
在開放之前
我們要確保展覽都能運作
牠們的溫度、玻璃、排泄物都能運作
那隻蝙蝠還在那裡嗎
作為一名觀察者,我喜歡這個問題
對,你怎麼不知道
對動物來說
從冬季養殖場變成夏季養殖場
我們想監察牠們
確保動物都舒服、高興
幼兒園是我們展覽的
那隻小蝙蝠也有
他們跟蜂蜜共享道路
還有那隻南叫喊
為了在牠們出來之前
我們要在牠們身上穿上新的拖鞋
確保牠們都很穩固
讓牠們所在環境充分安全
特別是小蝙蝠小朋友們
秋天和冬天
這是他們在那裡的第一次實際體驗
我們可以將手指穿過牠們
然後包圍牠們的腿嗎
Squirrel monkeys love being up high
So that's where they feel the most comfortable
So we're gonna still give them access to the high points
With a piece of bittersweet vine that we found in the park
Oh, I like that, Mel
And now we just need to dead end it
The squirrel monkeys are probably the more sensitive species
That we have within the children's zoo as far as temperature
So they'll most likely be the last ones to come out
And it's usually like what signifies that
We're open for the season
So the last thing we gotta do
Is just get our hands on these squirrel monkeys
Make sure everybody's healthy
And then we'll put them out on exhibit
I think it looks pretty good
Spring time is a really neat time at the Bronx Zoo
It's very dynamic
There's kind of a whole new life that comes to the zoo
It's a time of rejuvenation, of birth and renewal
And for the people that work in the bird department
The spring is the main time where the birds they care for
Are breeding and laying eggs and rearing chicks
Ew
There, that's the male
And this is the female
The Helmeted Curacao are from the rainforests
Of Venezuela and Colombia
They're endangered in the wild because of habitat loss
So we have a pair of birds that haven't bred before
And we've got them together
We are very, very keenly interested
In producing these birds for the future
Nothing is new, she's sitting tight
Sitting tight
And he's here
Oh, did he go up?
People have been breeding Curacao for years
But almost no one has had a situation
Where the birds are parent-reared
And we're going to try to let them raise their chicks
If we're lucky enough to have them lay eggs
Incubate them and the chicks hatch
Did he go and feed her? Did you see?
I did not see him feed her yet
Our female has been here for some time
We just received the mail from the Cincinnati Zoo
Our pair pretty much took to each other right away
We've gone ahead and we've soaked the glass
We do that when new birds arrive
So that they know that glass is there
And don't fly into it
Our female is sitting on eggs currently
And the incubation is 29 to 32 days
So yesterday was day 29
So right now we're watching for behaviors
To see if there's a possible hatch
Because she's not coming off the eggs
So I'm noticing that she's doing a lot of futzing around
And looking down into the nest
So I have a feeling that there's a chick in there
If she did have chicks
They're typically going to be moving around
And on her side under her wings
For warmth and stability
Oh, she just picked a wing up
Oh, I saw the head of one
Patty, I saw one
I saw the top of its little head poke up
And it's perfectly dry
There is a baby in there
I can see the top of its head
So that means that one egg is hatched
And possibly one more to go
And that's why she's staying up there
So she'll attend to them till both chicks hatch
Already she's a good mom
I'm excited for her
Because she gets to go back to her family
I'm sad because I lose my one-on-one time with her
Okay, both the babies are terrified to come out
They've never been outside before
This is so much different than looking out the window
Ernie is one of our silverback gorillas
The leader of a troop of 11
My God
And he puts a smile on everyone's face
He's the glue of the troop
Ernie, he's the big man on campus, for sure
Oh, look, it's Ernie
People love to see Ernie
He's just massive and so impressive
People are like, oh
I'm coming, Ernie
No, we're coming
Last November, Ernie was diagnosed
With advanced heart disease
Very abnormal
See, that's all fluid
That shouldn't be there
So he has a very, very weak heart
So this is significant
We were really concerned that we might lose him
We were able to come up with a combination
Of medications and management treatment
That works really well for him
See your chest, hold
Oh, okay
Behaviorally, the keepers have been working with Dr Bartlett
On training Ernie to allow us to do
An ultrasound of his heart while he's awake
Oh, he's like, I'm not too sure about that
Doing it awake is really important
Because an animal that's this compromised
We really would not want to anesthetize
And so it's taken great persistence
And training to get to this point
Where we can actually get
The ultrasound probe on his heart
All right, we'll work on that
So now Ernie seems very comfortable
With me being there along with his keeper
Chest
He seems pretty calm
Today we're doing an ultrasound of Ernie's heart
Which is an echocardiogram
Since we started the process
I've been able to perform ultrasound training
With Ernie multiple times a week
I'm able to save images and video clips
And so I'll be able to send those off
To the cardiologist
Totally give him an eyeball
I know
Side eye
Good boy, chest
No, I'm telling you with that hand
Keep that up there
There's a certain position we need him in
To get good readings
Hold
Great
Good
One more
Hold
We really seem to have stabilized him
Good job, Ernie
He is still on his medications
We know we're not going to reverse his heart disease
But what we can do is
Provide him with a really good quality of life
He is back to his old self
Leading the group
And he's a great father
It's really fantastic to see
It's really important that we monitor
The intake and the amount of food
That each sea lion gets
Keepers go in with the animals
And they actually hand feed
Each individual sea lion
The number of fish it's supposed to get per day
All right
Hi, Libby
Heather will start feeding
And then we'll set up the scale
Now that Libby's eating fish
It's important for Libby to associate
Her keepers with fish
Because we're the ones who'll be training her
When she gets back to the pool
So every day Carolyn and I
Are doing the same few behaviors
To teach her to know
That she has to engage with us to get food
Target
Libby gets a fish
After every behavior she learns
It teaches her that she did the behavior correctly
And she's getting a positive reward
Libby, come
Right here
We're teaching her how to target
Hold
How to hold
Great
Going into the crate
She's getting it slowly
She's going into the water on cue
Water
And learning how to go to the scale
Scale
45-ish
So far with Libby
I think she's very smart, intelligent
I think she's a little sassy
Good girl
We're doing tactiles at the end of the set
So we take off our gloves
When she's looking at you
Just blow a little
So she gets used to your scent
She's by herself right now
So the keepers are filling in
That other sea lion role
Kind of help her out with the social aspect
Good girl
Pups can be really unpredictable
And to have that kind of connection with us
Where she feels comfortable for us to touch her
Feels amazing
I feel like the set was good
Her targets just weren't good
But the water was great
She was a little confused with crate
But she was doing better
We're not quite ready to bring Libby back to the pool yet
We want to make sure that all of her behaviors are solid
And that she really associates
The keepers with fish
And we're done
So now's a good time for us to egg them
Yeah
Here it is
They're very good with the chick
Both parents
Awesome
So the first curaçao chick is doing very well
However, last night we ended up pulling the second egg
Because the mother left the nest with the chick
And our fear was that she may not go back
Because now she has a newly hatched chick to tend to
So we went ahead and pulled that egg
And we placed it in the incubator for the night
She's a lot better than I thought she was going to be
Me too
Considering it's her first time
In the wild, first time mothers
They're a little bit inexperienced
Sometimes they just get excited
Sometimes they get off the nest a little early
Here they can have the chicks
If something does occur
We can step in
We can help them out
Good morning
Ready?
Mm-hmm
Wow
Just literally popped out
Isn't that cool?
Hello, welcome
Yeah, it looks nice
Look at that
They're only this small once
We're good
Wow, that's wonderful
I'm really happy to see a second curaçao chick
We couldn't ask for a better scenario
Now that we have two viable chicks
We have more options for future breedings
And to continue with the program
Increasing our genetic diversity
Hello
Welcome to the world
That's a fine-looking chick
Fine-looking
All right
The helmeted curaçao is a precocial bird
So when it hatches, it can leave the nest
It can start feeding on its own
Whereas an altricial bird has to stay in the nest
And the parents have to protect it
But curaçao chicks still need to be with their parents
Because they need to learn where to find food
How to avoid predators
And how to stay safe in their environment
We'll be able to put it up underneath the hen
And see how she does with it
I think so
She's being a good mom right now
Good girl
Livia's made a lot of progress
She gets to go back to her family
Ready
One of the concerns is that she'll regress
Hi, Abby, honey
Abby has slight swelling on her left jaw
Dr. Sykes has a concern that it may be a tooth problem
Hi, target
Over the last few weeks,
Livia's made a lot of progress
Let's do a better target
Better
She's targeting
She's doing all of her behaviors on cue
In the crate
If I'm telling her to go water,
I'm using my fingers
And we have a hand cue
Water
You're going to target her to me?
Mm-hmm
Hold on
And then she will get a whistle cue
And then she will get fish
Good girl
I think she's ready
She's figured out her main behaviors
That she's going to need
When we bring her back to the pool
She knows that the keeper
Is where she gets her food
Which is really important
For when she gets back
I'm excited for her
Because she gets to go back to her family
I'm sad because I lose my one-on-one time with her
Crate
There it is
Let me just get this
You want to flip it?
I'll get it up
And then I'll climb in
Yay
She's like, I get to see my family
One of the concerns is that she'll regress
And we're hoping that
When she goes back to the pool
That she recognizes that
The keepers who worked with her at the health center
Are the ones that are going to be feeding her
Over in the shallows
Okay, where are we letting her out?
Right over there
Yeah
Ready
There you are
There they are
There's Clyde
There's Indy
Exactly what I expected to see
Yay
Nice
It was great seeing Libby
See her mom again
Get reintroduced to Indy
They did a little kiss
Which is a breath exchange for them
It was really nice to see
Now that Libby's back in the pool
Our first priority is that she eats
Our second priority
Is that she starts doing her behaviors again
Good job guys
Well done
Let's see if we can go in
And just grab her up real quick
We are over here at
The squirrel monkey winter holding
We're getting close to putting
The squirrel monkeys out on exhibit
But we noticed Abby has slight swelling
On her left jaw
Hi Abby, honey
Dr. Sykes has a concern
That it may be a tooth problem
So we're going to immobilize her
And if it is a tooth concern
We'll deal with it then
You're good, you're okay
Try to make it as easy going as possible
Ready
We need to get Abby to go to sleep
In order to get a good look in her mouth
To try to understand
Exactly where that swelling's coming from
One of the ways that we can do that
Is we can give her gas anesthesia
Abby's probably not going to hold still
While we put a mask on her face
So she's in a small container
Where we can give the whole container
Full of gas
So that we can keep stress
Down to a minimum
Her swelling is here
Yeah
Base of this tooth
Is right about there
It's pretty challenging
Working on teeth that are this small
It takes a really delicate touch
To try to do just enough
Without causing any damage
So this tooth behind the canine
Is loose
And had all that tartar around it
You think that could be the culprit
It could be
When I'm looking into Abby's mouth
She has some tartar
Around some of her teeth
A couple of her teeth are loose
And there's gum disease
In those areas
And so all of that put together
Looks like an infection of her tooth
That's traveled up
Inside of her mouth
And has kind of popped out
On her cheek
You want to pull it
Yeah
That one needs to come out
We need to remove that tooth
So that the gums can heal
Without having this infection
In the way
You ready
So
Okay
Good chances
That that's the problem
These teeth that are infected
In Abby's mouth
They're pretty small
They're not really necessary
For her
To be able to eat her food
But it's definitely
Better for her
In the long run
Oh baby
Oh my god
She has the cutest eyes
Almost done
Amy
Hi
Do you take out
Your kid's teeth by yourself too
She's stringing the doorknob
It's good to know Dr. Sykes
Took care of what
Needed to be taken care of
What's going on everybody
I'm very happy and relieved
It's okay
The procedure went great
So Abby's gonna get
Put back with her family
And then as a group
They're one step closer
To being on the island
Everybody's here now
Yesterday
We did introduce
The second carousel chick
With the parents
And the first chick
Look at that
What do you think of that
I'm a little nervous
She's very attentive
Watching it
It looked promising initially
But as time progressed
We noticed that
The parents
Were not being
Very receptive
Or accepting
Of this other chick
I know
We're almost there
So we're gonna try
Something new today
I'm here
Okay I'm coming
We've decided
That we will place
The second chick
In a howdy
A howdy is
An enclosure
Within an enclosure
This is a way
That we can keep
The chick safe
And not remove it
From being around
The family
So Patty
I've already made
Fresh breakfast
For the little guy
The situation
That we're in now
With these carousels
The goal is not only
To produce two chicks
The goal is to produce
Two parent-raised chicks
And if you were to take them
And really raise them
Artificially
With keepers
Taking care of them
There's a chance
They could become imprinted
On their keepers
And not really understand
That they're birds
Siblings
I know
Coming closer now
Yeah
Here comes dad
Already
The chick seems
More relaxed
There she goes
Near him again
That is really concerning
It's a little bit
It's not as gentle
As we would like
They got his beak
Pretty good
Through the wire
The behavior of the male
Does not appear
To be that of curiosity
The male
Is actually
Able to poke his beak
Through the gaps
In the mesh
And that is
Caused for concern
Because he could
Injure the chick
I think the best thing to do
Is that we take the chick
Back up to the nursery
For the evening
Despite our best efforts
To have this chick
Raised by its parents
It didn't work out
The way that we
Gain knowledge
Is through trial and error
Sometimes
In order to
Advance our knowledge
Of how to better care
For a species
Or how to breed a species
We have to take chances
Okay mama
I'm leaving
His little face
Got a little
Roughed up
So he doesn't look
Too bad
Both sides
Do you see
His beak
Yeah
We don't want that
To get worse
The introduction
Isn't going as well
As we hoped
But we're not
Gonna give up
We wanna make
Every effort
That this
Curacao chick
Is raised by birds
And not humans
Once we get
Out of here
Quiet
So we're gonna
Try placing her
With a foster bird parent
Okay good night
Little bugs
She's spitting
Everything out
No
I'm so confused
For a day
And she's been
Doing really well
Everyone greeted her
Especially her mom
Indy
But we're gonna see
If she's going to
Come to the keepers
When it's feeding time
Libby is 10 months old
And in the wild
She would be weaning
On her own
Indy would be
Moving away from her
Teaching her how
To get her own fish
So we're just gonna
See how she does though
When we actually
Try to go feed her
Everyone ready
You're going to
Take her in the shallows
You're gonna go
In the moat
Right
Cause we want to
Feed her wherever
She wants to go
If she decides to
Hop out at station one
Where you're at
Then you take her
And you start feeding her
Okay
What I hope to happen
Is that Libby will
Come right with me
And just start eating
Which will be great
Libby hi
I really hope
She comes to eat
She's spitting
Everything out
The way she must swallow
It's weird
She'll take them
You want to try
A whole one
Wait
There are fish everywhere
We're done my love
You didn't want to eat
Feline pups can be
Unpredictable
Training with Libby
At the health center
Was a pretty
Controlled environment
It was quiet
There was a lot of
One on one time
We're done
And now that
She's out at the pool
There can be tons of people
There's lots of noise
And she's also
Back with her family
So there are more things
That can distract her
I'm so confused
She's confused too
She's like
I will play with you
All you want
But I will not take
Any of your fish
She mouths a lot of fish
But I didn't see
Her swallow any
It's good and encouraging
That she's coming
To the keeper
And doing a few behaviors
And wanting to stay with us
But if she doesn't eat
In a few days
We're going to take her
Back to the health center
Where we're going to
Restart the process
Of teaching her
How to eat again
So here she is
Mama swinhoe
And you'll see
The four little
Jungle fowl chicks
The second carousel chick
Is not being accepted
By his family
Our plan is
To take him
And put him in
With the female
Swinhoe pheasant
That currently is
Foster rearing
Four green
Jungle fowl chicks
They roost up
On these tree branches
At night
Right alongside their mother
When I come in
First thing in the morning
There they are
The five of them
We're hoping that
The female swinhoe
Will also foster
The carousel chick
We have one shot at this
So we get it in there
We put it with the swinhoe hen
If it doesn't work
We'll pull it out
And basically
We'll just set up
A bird daycare center
See how it goes
That's fine
All right
Okay, play time
This looks like
A pretty nice-sized box
Oh, look at that beauty
Okay, you have one
Yeah
Okay, let's do this
You're on your own, Patty
Easy boy
Oh, the mama swinhoe
He needs a friend
They definitely know
There's a new bird
In the enclosure
She just walked right by it
Like, okay
Oh, that's
That's cute
We'll see how it goes
As long as she's training
There's a chance
That she will choose to eat
I'm hoping for this feed
That she's just gonna start eating
Hey, little baby
As long as she's training
There's a chance
That she will choose to eat
She's just doing opposite
Of what every other sea lion
Has done
Normally, they don't
Want to train
They eat
So when Libby first
Got back to the pool
She started
Spitting out her fish
Hey
But she was
Interested in training
Which is great
Because she knows
That the keeper
Is giving her her food
I'm hoping for this feed
That she's just gonna start eating
Okay, not that one
You ready
Yeah, good girl
Run, kids
Okay, she's eating mackerel
Oh, I'm so happy
All right, great, great, great
Target
What about that one
She's eating
I'm so relieved
That she decided to start eating
All the way
She's now training
She's eating
And there's just
The sky's the limit with her
Oh, this is great
Oh, Heather
You're awesome
This is why I love my job
Because of moments like this
You know, taking her away
From the pool
Getting her onto fish
Trying to create that bond
To know that
When she comes back to the pool
That she'll associate us
With, you know, the keepers
And that's why we do the job
I think she finally got hungry
Water
You're all done
We're done, Miss Lady
Libby, we're done
Come on, Libby
She's like, no
Go in the pool, Libby
Good girl
She ate everything
That was exciting
She was so on you
Libby's whole journey
Her starting to eat
At the health center
Was the start of her
Becoming an adult
This is still the beginning
Because now she just knows
Her basic behaviors
She's then gonna learn
A whole lot of behaviors
And you're gonna see her
Just with how smart she is
Becoming like this
Great, amazing sea lion
Look, she's ready for her
Up close
She's staring at you guys now
Hi
She's like, feed me
Oh, people, food
These birds are all really chilled
The two canettes were hand raised
This is Fatty McButter Pants
She likes people
And my homing pigeons
My prides and joy
I think he's hiding
Here he is
He's gotten really big
When we first put
The Curacao chick
In with the mama swinhoe
And her four green jungle fowl
It looked great
He's a male
You can tell by his face
His color now
His casque is starting
To come in
At the top of his head
But then we did see
Some aggression
From the female swinhoe
Pushing him away
Not tending to him
Or taking him on
As she did the others
So we had to move
The Curacao chick
To its own enclosure
Next door
Initially he did a lot of pacing
But now he's
Much more settled
And comfortable
Everything's working out
Our initial concern
With having
This helmeted Curacao
Alone was his learning
To be a bird
From other birds
Fortunately
He has his neighbors
The swinhoe and jungle fowl
He can actually learn
By visually watching them
He's drinking some water
From the misting
You see him getting the raindrops
So he learned that
So that's very important
Our hope has always been
That the bird would not imprint to us
And what I've seen
Is the bird has not imprinted
The bird is comfortable
With us there
However it doesn't approach
Or want to be near to us
So that's what we were hoping for
They grow up so fast
I feel like a proud mother
Today
We're gonna bring
The squirrel monkeys
All eight of them
From winter hold
Out onto the monkey island
I feel so stressed Roxy
Everybody ready
So I think
Everybody's anxious
Just to get going
We'll just rotate
Two people catching
One person just moving out
Vaccinate and put in the crate
OK
All right
Let's boogie
Today
We're gonna bring
The squirrel monkeys
All eight of them
From winter holding
Out onto the monkey islands
OK
Very exciting
You're OK
Let them relax
We have these guys in hand
We're really trying to
Limit the stress
You're OK baby
You're OK
We're trying to coincide
Any vaccines that they may need
Before they are put out on exhibit
You're nice and relaxed
See Uncle Tai on his foot
Abby's looking good
She's running around
She's eating
So I think
That's healing fine
So now
We're gonna move them
To monkey island
I feel so stressed Roxy
The hard part's over
For Lee's and Autumn
The babies
This will be their first experience
Over at the island
Being that it's such
A new environment for them
We just want to make sure
That if they do go into the water
That we can help them
Get out of the water
All right Jackson
You good Kathleen
Everybody ready
Ready
All right Jackson
Good girl
Yeah
You remember this
It's OK
We're home again
It's OK
Oh she's scared
It's OK
She's really scared
OK both the babies
Are terrified to come out
OK
They're just unsure
You see them
They've never been outside before
They're just like wow
Like this is
So much different
Than looking out the window
They've seen outside
But they've never
Been outside
What's going on
Look at all those

Thanks Roxy
Everybody has food
In their hands
As they're walking
So now the marsh is ready
We got all our animals
Out there
We have squirrel monkeys
Flamingoes
The screamer
We got a full house
Out there
Look look look
Everything's in
Full swing over here
Now that the monkeys
Are on the island
It kind of completes
The entire setting in the marsh
I know
It also jumps off
Our season
And it feels good
One of the really
Satisfying things
About working in a zoo
And caring for animals
Is when you're able to
Have the animals
That you're working with
Successfully reproduce
The advantage
That an individual animal
Has in a zoo
Is the people
Who care for them
Can step in
And provide support
I mean it's
Going slowly
Trial and error
With each species
To see
The best time
To kind of
Get involved
And make sure
It can live
A normal healthy life
We're doing our part
To help sustain
These species
And these animals
Into the future
