To vaccinate a Gorilla, start with a Popsicle stick

[Hapless Bills Fan]

Never say TBD isn't educational

 

Yesterday I learned that vaccinating Great Apes begins with a popsicle stick.

The keepers train the apes to lounge their side/back against heavy wire mesh on the keeper-side of their enclosures.

They show them a popsicle stick, give them treats when they assume the correct position, then poke them gently in the arm with the popsicle stick.

 

Next they move on to poking them with an empty syringe

 

When the apes are all "yeah, yeah, where's my banana?" the keeper vaccinates them.

I didn't know animal vaccination has been ongoing since March:

(Apparently if you want this to keep working, you need to keep doing it after the vaccination for a while, then regularly)
