He was hatched in captivity in April of this year and CMNH acquired him when he was just a couple of months old. The wildlife staff has been having a great time getting to know him this summer through his responses to enrichment and by glove training him for use in educational programs and live animal shows. He is not on display in one of the Perkins Wildlife Center exhibits, but he will frequently serve as an ambassador for his species in programs, classes, and outreach events. So be sure to keep an eye out for him and also help us choose his name!
