Tess and Daisy were overjoyed to be joined by the Director of Behavioral Husbandry of Brookfield Zoo, Tim Sullivan. Tim expands on his impressive career within the animal field before diving into the topic of mentorship and the key role it plays in our field. We discuss self-fulfilling prophecies and the impact it can have both positively, and negatively on our training and how to best mitigate it.
