Can we touch animals at the San Diego zoo?

Apr 03, 2009 by venetian | Posted in San Diego

I'm going to the zoo during spring break, and I was wondering if we could actually get very close to the animals and touch/feed them (oh and take pictures with them)?

and if so, what animals particularly do we get to go close to? (i am

The have a petting zoo with your basic barnyard animals in it. They also have an aviary full of birds, including lorikeets that you can feed. For a small fee, you get a cup of nectar that the birds go nuts for. They fly all around you and land on you

SAN MARCOS: CSUSM student researchers seek genetic answer to species protection

22.05.12

In a quiet laboratory at the zoo near Escondido, Cal State San Marcos students Nastassja McDonald and Mandi Roe have been puzzling out a way to use chicken eggs to reproduce exotic or endangered species.

McDonald, a senior in biology, and Roe, a junior in biotechnology, are participants in programs that allow undergraduates to conduct original research alongside seasoned scientists.

At the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research, they're developing a complex process to coax a chicken egg into hatching a genetic chimera ---- a rooster that produces sperm of birds as diverse as kiwis or pheasants.

"The big picture is, we want to be able to find ways to conserve endangered species," said McDonald, 23.

While the research promises a second chance to birds in danger of extinction, the program also provides a unique opportunity for the students, who were once at risk of falling through the cracks in school.

Their research, on the cusp of stem cell technology, is under way in only a handful of labs worldwide, said Peter Jensen, a research scientist with the institute who supervises the students' work.
