Zoo.Da: Solen skinnede ned over de besøgende, der slentrede rundt og nød dagen.En: The sun shone down on the visitors who strolled around enjoying the day.Da: Kasper, Maja og Linnea nød også deres dag i zooen.En: Kasper, Maja, and Linnea were also having a great time at the zoo.Da: De lo og spiste is, mens de gik mod pingvinernes indhegning.En: They laughed and ate ice cream as they walked towards the penguin enclosure.Da: Alt virkede som en normal dag, indtil nogen bemærkede, at pingvinerne var væk.En: Everything seemed like a normal day until someone noticed the penguins were missing.Da: "Se!"En: "Look!"Da: råbte Linnea.En: shouted Linnea.Da: "Hvor er pingvinerne henne?"En: "Where are the penguins?"Da: Hun pegede på den tomme indhegning ved siden af den lille dam med de stenede øer.En: She pointed to the empty enclosure next to the small pond with the rocky islands.Da: De tre venner kiggede på hinanden.En: The three friends looked at each other.Da: Maja fniste, "Måske de tog på ferie?"En: Maja giggled, "Maybe they went on vacation?"Da: Kasper kunne ikke lade være med at smile, men han vidste, at de måtte handle.En: Kasper couldn't help but smile, but he knew they had to act.Da: Kasper kiggede rundt og så de små pingviner vraltende væk mod caféområdet.En: Kasper looked around and saw the small penguins waddling away towards the café area.Da: Han kom straks i tanke om, hvad han havde lært om pingviner: De elskede fisk!En: He immediately remembered what he had learned about penguins: they loved fish!Da: "Vi skal bruge fisk," sagde han bestemt.En: "We need fish," he said confidently.Da: "Vi kan lokke dem tilbage."En: "We can lure them back."Da: Maja tænkte også hurtigt.En: Maja quickly thought of an idea.Da: "Lad os gøre det til en konkurrence!"En: "Let's make it a competition!"Da: foreslog hun med et glimt i øjet.En: she suggested with a twinkle in her eye.Da: "Lad os se, hvem der kan få flest pingviner tilbage!"En: "Let's see who can get the most penguins

omkringstående.En: "Come on, we need your help," she said to those nearby.Da: "Hvis I hjælper, kan vi klare det!"En: "If you help, we can do it!"Da: Folk omkring dem blev nysgerrige og ville gerne være med til det usædvanlige drama.En: The people around them became curious and wanted to join in on the unusual drama.Da: Sammen med Kasper begyndte de at samle fisk fra skraldespandene tæt ved.En: Together with Kasper, they began to gather fish from the nearby trash cans.Da: De smed fiskene foran pingvinerne og råbte let opmuntrende for at få dem til at vende om.En: They tossed the fish in front of the penguins and called out encouragingly to make them turn around.Da: Jakker og tasker blev brugt til at danne en midlertidig barriere, så pingvinerne ikke kunne forvilde sig ind på caféen.En: Jackets and bags were used to form a temporary barrier so the penguins couldn't wander into the café.Da: Med alle, der arbejdede sammen, blev det en kaotisk men sjov scene.En: With everyone working together, it was a chaotic but fun scene.Da: Pingvinerne blev ivrigt lokket af de duftende fisk og begyndte langsomt at vrikke mod deres indhegning.En: The penguins were eagerly tempted by the fragrant fish and slowly waddled back toward their enclosure.Da: Bare i rette tid, lige før den første pingvin kunne sætte en lille fod ind i caféen, blev de alle samlet og ledt tilbage i sikkerhed.En: Just in time, right before the first penguin could set a tiny foot in the café, they were all gathered and guided back to safety.Da: Kasper, Maja, og Linnea slap et kollektivt lettelsens suk.En: Kasper, Maja, and Linnea let out a collective sigh of relief.Da: Endelig var det overstået.En: Finally, it was over.Da: Zookeeperne kom hen til dem med brede smil.En: The zookeepers came over to them with wide smiles.Da: "Tak for jeres hjælp," sagde en af dem.En: "Thank you for your help," said one of them.Da: "I har gjort en virkelig stor indsats."En: "You've made a really big effort."Da: Kasper, der altid havde ønsket at bevise sine færdigheder, indså nu, hvor vigtigt samarbejdet havde været.En: Kasper, who had always wanted to prove his skills, now realized how important the collaboration had been.Da: Den varme eftermiddag blev afkølet med endnu en omgang is, som de tre venner nød sammen.En: The warm afternoon was cooled down with another round of ice cream, which the

In this episode we talk with primate specialist, founder of the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GReP), and president of the Gibbon Conservation Society in Malaysia about the importance of the rehabilitation and conservation of these incredible primates.    Bam's Bio: Mariani Ramli a.k.a. Bam Arrogancia founded the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project (GReP) in 2013, after learning about the plight of gibbons and other primates in Malaysia. She serves as the director of GReP and current President for GCS. She has a degree in animal biology, was a wildlife ranger with the Malaysian Wildlife Department for more than 10 years, has worked as a project coordinator and researcher for the Copenhagen Zoo, studying flat headed cats, and she has studied gibbon rehab from international organisations such as Phnam Tamao Wildlife Rescue Centre in Cambodia and Gibbon Rehabilitation Project in Thailand. She is a member of IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group Section on Small Apes, a rare and distinct international honour. Mariani was recently a winner of the prestigious Young Leadership Awards by the Edge and has received the 2018 American Primatological Society Award. She was chosen as one of the Top Five Women in Leadership in Environmental Sustainability in 2017 and has been widely featured by both local and international media. She is also recognised as Malaysia's Eco Champion by Roots and Shoots, a part of the Jane Goodall Institute. The ‘mother of gibbons' herself, Bam has dedicated the last 7 years of her life to the gibbons. For the last 7 years, she has done everything from wiping poo to being a gibbon psychiatrist, cleaning enclosures to building them, menial paperwork to writing scientific proposals, selling GCS t-shirts to inspiring hundreds of kids and so much more, all for the gibbons. In the years Bam spent working as a ranger in the forests of Malaysia, she has come to love our rainforests and the species that thrive in it. “I love my country so much, I'm giving back to my country by serving the wildlife.” Bam's love for the gibbons knows no bounds, she has sacrificed everything and faced so many challenges to make this project a reality. When asked why she does it, all she says is, “Every sacrifice is so worth it when I see them make progress, every step is a step closer to freedom for them.”   For more information about the Gibbon Conservation Society and info on how to help GCS and these incredible animals go to: www.gibbonconservationsociety.org Follow them => Facebook: @gibbonconservationsociety                            Instagram: @gibbonconservationsociety   Want to really help? => Introducing our new Adopt a Gibbon Program! You can now symbolically adopt any of our gibbons for just USD 9 (est RM 39) a month. Or you can buy them fruits for only USD 3 (est RM 14) a month. You can cancel your subscription at any time. You can also adopt more than one gibbon or gift the adoption to a loved one. 

Through this we hope to create a consistent source of funding to help support the Gibbon Rehabilitation Project, as well as create more awareness on how every gibbon and their rehabilitation needs are different.  #EveryIndividualMatters  So pledge to support one of our gibbons or just browse the webpage to get to know them a little. Each gibbon is at a different stage of rehabilitation and recovery. It takes years and dedicated understanding to help these gibbons through their rehabilitation journeys.

What is your dream behavior to train? I have a feeling for many bird keepers it just might be this one! Imagine having a mixed species aviary in which each flock of birds recalls to a different sound and shifts into their own holding area. This dream is reality for Henrik Futtrup a keeper and trainer at the Copenhagen Zoo. In this podcast he not only shares the steps he took to train the behavior but also important details about antecedent arrangement, species specific considerations and how this behavior really paid off in an emergency. And in truth, this concept can be applied to any mixed species habitats…not just birds. I also answer one of your questions about how to train quick response to the cue when training for recall…. especially when there are lots of distractions.

Education animals, animal ambassadors, domestic animals and lab animals are often the ones who get the short end of the stick so to speak, meaning traditionally, participation was often up to the handler and not the animal. Progressive training flips the script. Animals have the choice to participate and when they do, desired consequences happen. As expected, the results are amazing behaviors. However, we are making other discoveries as well. We are seeing the impact it can have on our messaging, on research data, and most importantly on animal welfare. You will get a lot out this podcast that covers a wide variety of species from guinea pigs, rabbits, llamas, snakes, tortoises, chickens, horses, cows, pigs and more. Special guest Annette Pedersen, animal training coordinator from the Copenhagen Zoo shares some great examples and resources you don’t want to miss. I also answer your questions about intermediate and terminal bridges.

Special guest Animal Training Coordinator of the Copenhagen Zoo, Annette Pedersen shares how transitioning from riding horses using traditional training techniques to training for agility with positive reinforcement has made a tremendous difference in animal welfare. Learn about the easy to make apparatus the zoo uses to give horses the opportunity to use different muscles and practice balance. Behaviors have been trained specifically to maintain excellent physical condition. The horse training program has shown how training based in positive reinforcement can result in an exceptionally well-trained horses, eager to participate, well-behaved and willing to stop on a dime! Can horses be successfully trained with positive reinforcement? You bet! Take a listen and learn more about transitioning from traditional methods.

Where did all those cool ideas for training tigers to cooperate in medical care come from? I know a lot of my inspiration came from some fantastic training I saw years ago at Copenhagen Zoo. Since then, their training has gone viral with video clips of urination on cue, using sleeves for injection training and tail blood draws. Training coordinator Annette Pedersen shares how it all started and details of the shaping plans to groundbreaking behaviors that are now inspiring trainers around the world ~ Barbara Heidenreich

In this episode special guest Annette Pedersen shares ​a story zoo professionals hope never to experience. What would you do if a guest climbed into an enclosure with a dangerous animal? If your team has not prepared for this type of emergency, two lives are at stake, human and animal. Listen to how the Copenhagen Zoo ​handled the situation when they received the call "This is not a drill. There is a man in the polar bear exhibit."

Bjarke Ingels communicates the value—and world-changing potential—of architecture with the giddy enthusiasm and excitement of a sci-fi obsessive anticipating the next big Hollywood blockbuster. This is an analogy that especially makes sense when one gets deep into conversation with Ingels, as Andrew Zuckerman recently did for this episode of Time Sensitive. At age 44, the Danish-born Ingels has become one of the most widely known and talked about practitioners in his field, reaching a level of fame and notoriety that most leading architects don’t see until they’re nearly twice his age. How did he do it? The answer lies largely in comics, or at least that’s where his success story starts. Dreaming of becoming an illustrator or cartoonist, Ingels found a path to architecture through art school. This background allowed him, over time, to shrewdly distill compelling narratives into everything his firm, Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), does, whether a Copenhagen waste-to-energy plant that doubles as a ski mountain, a proposed floating city in the sea, or a Shenzhen skyscraper. On this episode, Ingels discusses his circuitous path to prominence; why he named his newborn Darwin; some of BIG’s latest undertakings, including The Dryline masterplan in New York; and why architects, developers, city planners, and others all need to take a longer view when it comes to creating our built environments.

This week Tylor, Evy and Robbie take on the heavily debated subject of whether or not zoos are vegan-friendly. As animal-lovers, many vegans crave the opportunity to meet animals in person and zoos might seem like the obvious option, however there is no denying that wild animals in captivity are caged against their will. We talk about our experiences with zoos and the role zoos play in education and conservationism. Later on, we interview Maddie Taylor, the Campaigns Officer for the animal rights organisation, Freedom For Animal (previously known as the Captive Animals Protection Society). Also on this episode… Are not-for-profit zoos more ethical? Tylor: “We don't want bigger cages; we want empty cages.” Listener question: What about zoos that help conserve certain species? Is Newt Scamander's suitcase a zoo or a sanctuary? Breaking news from the vegan wizarding world brought to you by The ChickPeeps' most persistent tweeter. What is life like for animals in zoos? Maddy: “I think part of the problem is that a zoo is very much about creating a great day out for the visitor… giving you the perception that those animals are free.” What is Stereotypic behaviour and what are some examples of it? Marius the giraffe and “Surplus” animals - how was Copenhagen Zoo allowed to kill a perfectly healthy animal and is this a common practice? Where do zoos get their animals? What about zoos' role in conservation projects? Alternative ways to learn about animals Do certain zoos improve the lives of animals in captivity? What we can do to help animals in captivity now?

What you got called home for? Yesterday Shaun received a phone call from his wife telling him to come home quick. He thought he was going to get lucky, but it turns out his dog had the runs. Kate had to come home from work early to help her pass a level on Grand Theft Auto. Tammy was called home to break up a fight between her siblings and clean up a party they threw and Jamie was called home to help his wife get her clothes off but because they were stuck.Weird waiting lists - In Denmark there's a six month waiting period for people to donate their dead horses to Copenhagen Zoo, so they can feed the lions with the carcasses. Fiona had to wait 2 years for a saxophone for her son and Kim ordered free mulch and only got it 10 years later! Daniel has been waiting 3 years for a sheep dog and Damien has been waiting 13 years for Eagles membership.Greg Hire - The Wildcat talked about raising awareness for breast cancer in honour of coach Trevor Gleeson's wife who's currently battling it.

The Copenhagen Zoo's Southeast Asia Programme began in 1998, by providing capacity building to Malaysia's Department of Wildlife and National Parks (DWNP) concerning Captive Breeding management. The programme continues to be involved in original applied research about wildlife ecology, management and conservation, as well as to provide advice, support and capacity building support to local universities, students and policy makers in the region. We find out more from Dr Carl Traeholt, the programme's director.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Malaysia is home to the Malayan Tapir, an animal that is black and white like the panda but gets much less attention. Boyd Simpson of the Copenhagen Zoo and Chris Wong of WWF Malaysia share with us what little we know of tapirs, and why these large herbivores of our jungles deserve more studies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rick Barongi, Director of the Houston Zoo (@houstonzoo on twitter) joins host Craig Price to discuss what goes into the running and expansion of a major zoo.  If anyone follows Craig on instagram (craigprice47) or on Google+ you'll know right away how much he likes zoos and appreciates animals through his photography. Getting the opportunity to talk to the director of a zoo like the Houston Zoo was quite a treat. The two discuss the unusual situation at the Copenhagen Zoo regarding the euthanasia of a healthy giraffe and how it affects all zoos, the planned expansion of the Houston Zoo to include gorillas in 2015, the not so planned expansion of 6 additional chimpanzees recently as well as what goes into deciding which animals breed, like the new baby elephant and giraffe the zoos delivered this February. You can learn more about the Houston Zoo at http://HoustonZoo.org. This episode is also being used to raise money for Orangutan Outreach! Past guest Richard Zimmerman's Apps of Apes is being utilized by the Houston Zoo so Craig thought helping out Orangutan Outreach indirectly would help out the orangutans at the Houston Zoo too! DISCLOSURE: The Houston Zoo is not aware or affiliated with this specific charity drive. Any questions should be directed to Craig@SpeakerCraigPrice.com NOT the Houston Zoo. How can you donate? If you purchase a 2014 calendar of Craig's nature photography all of the profits will be donated to http://redapes.org. Several of the animals featured were photographed while at the Houston Zoo.

Copenhagen Zoo's decision to kill Marius - an 18 month old healthy giraffe - and to perform a public autopsy in front of children sparked a global outcry. Despite receiving numerous death threats and hate emails, the zoo's scientific director insisted he had no choice but to kill Marius because there were already too many giraffes with similar genes in the European breeding programme. Reporter Hannah Barnes travels to Denmark to explore the reasons behind the killing of Marius and other healthy animals. Back in Britain she talks to staff at British zoos to find out whether what the Danes did in public is happening behind the closed doors in the UK. Producer: Anna Meisel.

The story of Marius the Giraffe and the insensitive way in which he was put down has made for some bad press for Copenhagen Zoo in Denmark. After euthanizing the giraffe due to issues surrounding his genes and inter-breeding with other animals, the zoo promptly fed his body to the lions on full view of the public. Steve and Ben discuss this remarkable story, as well as how zoos have to deal with issues such as these. Steve and Ben also cover the new Lego Movie, celebrations for Darwin’s Day, and the rise and fall of Flappy Bird – the latest mobile app sensation.
