Zookeeper: Most people are opposed to zoos because they believe that animals belong in the wild instead. Chimpansies grunt more than apes, and tickle each other nd their babies when they're played with. Animals in captivity act as ambassadors of their species; teach millions how to help them. There's a lot of information about zoos that's very outdated and incorrect.
Settle in with Alie Ward and guest Kate Gilmore, a professional primatologist and lead keeper of the great apes and Old World monkeys at the Los Angeles Zoo. Learn about chimpanzee mating, why zookeepers don't wear FitBits, primate DRAAAMA, the erroneous philosophy behind truck nuts and what happens in the middle the night at the zoo. Also get some good info on primate conservation and how to be a friend to orangutans.
