Vertebrate Zoology Lab

Catalog description

This lab focuses on the development of a vertebrate research project at the Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo, which currently houses over 130 species of animals, a number of which are currently listed as endangered. As a participant in the Species Survival Plan (SSP) program, the zoo's mission is to promote the preservation of such endangered species as well as provide the best possible enclosures for many of the zoo's other residents. You will be engaged in the design, execution, analysis and presentation of research, which will ultimately be used by the Connecticut's Beardsley Zoo to enhance their care and protection of vertebrates.
