The Animal House | WAMU 88.5 show

Summary: The San Antonio Zoo was the site of a rare wildlife event recently when a two-headed Texas river cooter turtle hatched on June 18. We hear the details from the zoo’s reptile curator Craig Pelke. We also spend a few minutes discussing new trends in animal rescue, with the man widely regarded as the "father of the no-kill animal shelter movement” Rich Avanzino. Music: “Kari” by Bob James and Earl Klugh; “Happy Together” by The Turtles
