X-ray training for Kash. 🩻
When Kash was a cub he was treated for an infection in his knee which could cause him to develop arthritis earlier than he would have normally. The animal care team monitors that area with yearly X-rays. Part of Kash's routine training includes X-rays, blood pressure checks and blood draws with the tail.

Our Zookeepers devote a lot of time and care to train the animals to voluntarily participate in their own health care.
