BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 From the Disney Parks blog. My dogs have done agility - never knew you could do it with goats! Wildlife Wednesdays: ‘Personal Trainers’ Help Goats and Sheep Stay Fit at Disney’s Animal Kingdomposted on January 4th, 2012 by Matt Hohne, Animal Operations Director, Disney’s Animal ProgramsAt this time of year thoughts inevitably turn to New Year’s resolutions and getting fit often is one of them. At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, ensuring that all of our animals stay in great physical condition – through proper nutrition, training, enrichment and regular veterinary exams – is part of our commitment to excellence in animal care.You can say our animals at Affection Section in Rafiki’s Planet Watch, including rare domestic breed sheep and goats, have their own personal trainers – our animal keepers – and personal exercise programs, including agility, which has them jumping through hoops and over bars, and navigating through weave poles and tunnels. All of which helps the animals stay fit and mentally stimulated.It can be even more fun when the animals decide to “do it their way,” as you’ll see in this video clip shot by our animal care team during an agility training session. Enjoy!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg3vF9VXXvg&feature=player_embedded Quote Link to post Share on other sites
