Veterinary Teams Played a Crucial Role in the Procedure, Showcasing Their Dedication to Wildlife Conservation and Animal Well-Being

The trailblazing "Zoo Lady" worked alongside San Diego Zoo founder Dr. Harry Wegeforth, and her innovative ideas and dedication to wildlife care continue to inspire us today.

United by purpose and fueled by passion, volunteers are helping us achieve our mission.

This critical leadership skillset makes all the difference.

SAN DIEGO (Jan. 30, 2024) – San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and San Diego State University (SDSU) are joining forces to usher in a new way of studying snakes. In a collaboration between San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and Rulon Clark, Ph.D., professor of biology at SDSU, biologists are tagging wild rattlesnakes with external transmitters and accelerometers. Previously, telemetry devices on snakes had to be surgically implanted—severely limiting this area of study. San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance and SDSU are among the first to use acceleration technology to study snakes.

Local students are discovering the importance of collaboration and teamwork in wildlife conservation.

There's no limit to what our team will do for wildlife.
