“Caring for our animals is truly a team effort,” said Louden Wright, the veterinarian at the Great Plains Zoo and Delbridge Museum of Natural History. “Our zookeepers work with the animals every day and report any changes in behavior, appetite, or appearance to the veterinary staff.” The Great Plains Zoo in Sioux Falls has qualified animal care through Wright and registered veterinary technician and registrar Janelle Brandt. “The veterinary team has also developed a preventive medicine program (PMP), which ensures that all of the animals under our care are routinely evaluated for any undetected medical issues,” said Wright.
