Folks often say that dogs are a human"s best friend. The Science Center doesn"t have any dogs on display (well at least not since our temporary Dogs! exhibit closed), but we sure do have lots of other terrestrial animals to take care of. And our keepers--the folks who do that work--really care about our animals. Do you ever wonder how keepers develop a relationship with the animals they take care of? Josh Hestermann leads the team who takes care of everything that lives on land at the Science Center. He shares what it"s like to gain the trust of a military macaw and what goes into taking care of all the terrestrial animals you might see when you visit. Have a question you"ve been wondering about?
