ZOO 225 — Zoo 4: Action Project Experience
This capstone course will reinforce principles covered in previous zoo technology courses. Class topics will include chemical immobilization of zoo animals, use of darts and remote immobilization equipment, contemporary zoo issues and zoo/workplace skills. Students will draw upon their cumulative zoo technology program knowledge and experience to initiate, plan, develop, implement and assess a hands-on Zoo Action Project (ZAP). The ZAP project will require preparation and participation outside of scheduled class time. Workshops and a field trip will provide further opportunity to compare the facilities and practices of different zoos.
Prerequisites: ZOO 215, ZOO 216, BIO 217, BIO 218
