Zoo Vets

About the Show

Documentary series which looks behind the scenes at various American zoos. Caring for animals is the ultimate medical challenge since those who cannot speak are often dangerous and reluctant to submit to even a simple examination. Witness how a handful of zoo veterinarians at the Smithsonian's National Zoo give specialised care to every animal, from an otter with kidney stones to a giant anteater that is giving birth.
