American Medicine Today visits with Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Animal Care Center in Tampa, Florida.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is one of the largest zoos in North America, housing over 250 different animal species: everything from elephants, zebras and giraffes to hippos, gorillas, lions and many, many more. Taking care of these animals is no small feat and we speak to Dr. Pete Black, Senior Veterinarian and Bethany Fisher, Education Specialist about their daily responsibilities and what it takes to care for these beautiful animals. We also join Dr. Pete for procedures on a kangaroo and a bald eagle, while Bethany introduces us to Edgar Owl Poe an Eastern Screech Owl and official Busch Gardens Tampa Bay “Animal Ambassador.”
