Houston Zoo

It's Back to School Season at the Houston Zoo

Class is in session at the Zoo! Our younger animals are learning crucial husbandry behaviors from their dedicated animal care teams to be able to voluntarily participate in their own medical care. Our youngest elephants, Winnie and Teddy, started formal training at three months old while our capybara pups are learning stand up behaviors through target training. You can spot these trainings during your next Zoo visit! Read more: bit.ly/3PEvnND
