Malayan Tiger Cub Training Session & Keeper Talk at the Palm Beach Zoo

The animals at the Palm Beach Zoo take part in a behavioral training program which uses positive reinforcement techniques to allow the animals to voluntarily participate in their own care. By training the animals to present body parts, perform specific behaviors, and move from place to place, animal care staff can conduct visual inspections of the animals. Procedures such as vaccinations, blood draws, and ultrasounds can also occur without having to anesthetize the animals. Our Malayan tiger cubs are no exception to the behavioral training program and have started their training with simple behaviors such as sitting, standing up, and touching their nose to a target. As they cubs continue to grow, more behaviors will be incorporated into their training so that the staff at the zoo can give them the best possible care.
