Jake PapazianHOST
I've got to tell you quickly, today
Gary CaroneGUEST
what I did, I was at the Toledo Zoo watching grizzly bears be trained.
Gary CaroneGUEST
And the reason is my colleague at UM-Dearborn, she does this every year because she worked it out so she could watch the people there.
Gary CaroneGUEST
Um, and we bring some students and we just watch how that they do what they do and their behavior analytically trained and they're dealing with another type of organism.
Gary CaroneGUEST
But at the Toledo zoo, they do a lot of enrichment and they also, all the training when they say they're training them are all for medical things.
Gary CaroneGUEST
Like in other words, I need to get a look at their belly.
Gary CaroneGUEST
So I'm going to teach them how to stand up and put their hands up so I can look at them.
Rob CraneGUEST
The Blanding's turtle is a rare species here in Northwest Ohio.
Rob CraneGUEST
We see them on five or six of our preserves and actually the Toledo Zoo studies landings populations and they don't like to share the locations because there is a pet market that will scoop them up and sell them unfortunately.
Rob CraneGUEST
But one of our properties is the largest population of landings left in the state of Ohio.
Rob CraneGUEST
The salamanders are also a lot of fun too.
Corey WyckoffHOST

10 MINS LATER
NateGUEST
So that was a big goal for the project was to add the air conditioning.
NateGUEST
Yeah.
Corey WyckoffHOST
And for people who never visited Toledo Zoo, why do we choose to renovate a lot of the buildings that we have here on grounds rather than like tearing it down and building a new one? Is there any significance to these buildings?
NateGUEST
Yeah.
