ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The Albuquerque BioPark is training one of its most dangerous creatures.
Zookeepers are target-training the zoo’s saltwater crocodile for safety reasons.
The crocodile must gently touch a bulb to receive a food reward, and when he does it correctly they blow a whistle to mark the positive behavior.
This behavior encouragement could enable trainers to take blood samples from the animal’s tail in a safe manner.
