What an interesting and professional job. Definitely we really need veterinarians all over the planet, what could we do without them? Thank you so much for that good job!!!
I kinda have to laugh at the baboons' contraceptive. It's the same one I've got in my arm lol Edit: Omg Scott looks like a Ken doll in those coveralls!!
Mmmmmm! Dr. Scott looks so darn good. I like to watch videos of animals. However, just watching to look at Dr. Scott makes it even more appealing. In addition to his looks, he has a great personality.
One of the things I love about this series is how these vets have such an affinity towards animals. Not all vets have that. You can tell the animals really respond to them. I think Dr. Scott and Dr. Rob are amazing vets and you can see how well animals, both wild and domestic, react to them. I truly believe they think every animal they meet is beautiful, gorgeous, or whatever positive word they use. And I think Dr. Scott in particular falls a little in love with every animal he meets.
@@annmariejones12110 I could never forget any of then. They are all great. I have so much respect for these doctors if animals. They are the most uplifting people. I tell each of them wen I watch a clip. They know I live them.
He will be once the drug is used, and his nutters return to their normal size, and testosterone production resumes. They should think about a trade with another zoo for an unrelated male. (Jan Griffiths).
Aussies are just ..I don't know ... They sound so chill and cool ! I've talked to one on a festival and I felt so comfortable and awesome the vibe they give off is incredibly awesome! Truly my second most favourite folk
I'd be curious to see how they decided de-sexing koalas was the best option on Kangaroo Island. I got the impression that breeding females and genetic diversity could be sorely needed in koala populations elsewhere, so I wonder whether relocation was ever considered.
My only worry is they should comment on why they are castrating Koalas as opposed to relocation. This really should be addressed for those unfamiliar with the species
Love Dr. Rob Zammit. Easy to tell he loves animals, treats them well and carefully. The Camels are so majestic. Interesting to know what they will eat. Poor Ringo, after witnessing Lorenzo's procedure, cried forlornly. I would love to meet a camel, even ride one. How sad the over population of koalas is killing trees. Are there more females than males? Why do they not neuter the males? The Elephant was massive. How sad the Elephant sat, putting pressure on his lungs. It took a lot of men and so much strength to push him onto his side. So glad he was back on his feet after his chemical neuter.
I never heard camels growl before. That surely was a menacing loud growl. I didn't know that animals in the wild were given birth control to control their reproducing. I've seen it in zoos, but not in the wild.
In the case of of the Meerkats ( or many wild animals) and many young males probably have the same issues, so with no one to intervene, how are these situations handled? Or is this only for animals in captivity ?
From my understanding, wild males usually leave their families to mate with non-relatives, but that's not an option in captivity. I think there are some instances in the wild, too, where inbreeding happens, but we can't really do anything about that.
People really don’t understand how dangerous working with animals can be. Animals can be unpredictable and a lot more dangerous than people expect. I almost lost my career just from a cat bite that got infected. I know people that have lost their hands due to a single cat bite. People always compare my job to playing with animals all day, but in reality any day could turn out to be my last. It just takes one.
Does anyone know the story with Chris' right cheek? It's so much bigger than the other and it's been like that for as far back as I can remember. I've been watching this channel for over 3 years and have always wondered but never asked.
The female koalas only have one baby at a time, but a male can breed with multiple females. Why not castrate some of the males as well to slow the breeding rates ?
They don't want to make it permanent, just lower the numbers. They will alternate which elephant (for example) gets the birth control. I don't know why they are sterilizing the koalas though, they can move them to the mainland of Australia and bring fresh DNA as well as ones that don't have diseases.
I doubt this would be seen, but why is it only important to sterilize the females instead of the males on KI? 1 male could breed with multiple females, right? I understand needing to control the population and I’m not against catch neuter/spay release programs. However, I’m confused why they’re only sterilizing females on KI. Thanks!
I assume it's about testosterone production. I think in the wild any animals in groups with multiple females for 1 male, if testosterone is low in the male, then the females (or other males) could attack and try and take over the group. I think this is one of the reasons, but I don't work in anything related to animals so anyone correct me if I'm wrong 🤷🏻♂️
Logistics and predictability. Male-focused sterilisation works in population control only if you also have control over which animals have access to others, and if they could do that, they could just keep the females and males mostly separated to keep population size down. If the animals roam free, neutering one male does squat diddly to birth rate, whereas fixing a female guarantees diminishing the seasonal birth rate by 1. If you have intact females and mostly sterilised males, the remaining fertile males could potentially still impregnate most/all of the females, and there's no telling what the birth rate might end up being. Sterilise too few males and you did too little to make a difference, sterilise too many and you've put your population into an unnecessary genetic bottleneck. Even sterilising just enough males may result in a genetic bottleneck, depending on how many females one male can knock up. To prevent potential genepool collapse, there would need to be genetic testing to determine which males would be preserved intact, and even then a dominant male could end up producing much more offspring than his weaker colleagues. Joeys would also need to be sexed and most of the male ones de-sexed to keep the birth rate in check, since even a few additional males could potentially be enough to majorly throw the birthrate off.
@@peccantis I didn’t think about the genetic diversity when I first posed the question. Following your comment, and thinking about it longer too… I realize it does make sense to keep males intact so that the genetic diversity doesn’t decrease; doing that could put the Koalas at an increased risk of disease. A perfect example of a disease spreading across a population of animals with low genetic diversity is Devil Facial Tumor Disease killing the Tasmanian Devils. DFTD is so deadly because the tumors mimic the MHC complexes so the devil immune system never triggers a response. MHC complexes are markers on cells that help the immune system identify cells that belong and those that do not - like bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, as well as dead or dying cells, like cancer cells. So I do understand why it makes sense to focus on the females here. Thanks!
Thats what I was thinking but I'm wondering if them being disease free for so long has made them more susceptible to illness? Or maybe they're worried that they will no longer recognize a predator or unsafe areas?
Maybe they actually do, but the problem could perhaps be that the Australian mainland has become more and more inhospitable to koalas as well. Until that's addressed, bringing more koalas to it wouldn't be sustainable.
From what I understand, it's all in the habitat loss. Cramming more koalas into the few parts of the mainland that can sustain them will just destroy those areas.
@@janvandusen5700 the meerkat can remove it's own stitching with it's claws, and it's hard to prevent them from doing so, and they wanted a temporary castration and not a permanent one so that he can still breed later in life.
If Koala populations on the mainland are in trouble, can they not transplant some Kangaroo Island Koalas to areas that have a diminishing population? Seems wierd to me.
Koala pops in mainland are in trouble mainly due to habitat loss. Transferring more koalas to diminishing koala-friendly areas is the opposite of a solution.
Does anyone know why they keep the genders together? (I’m mainly asking after I watched the baboon clip so you can understand where I’m coming from better) like i understand baboons are very social animals but with that in mind why don’t they just keep them as two groups, a male group and a female group? They could even have the two enclosures close enough where the two groups could still socialize but not close enough that pregnancy through the enclosure bars would still be a risk plus they would have each other of the same gender to physically be with still too so it’s not like they would be alone. Would that just be more work than the way they do it now? Or more expensive or something? I love how they try their best to keep them happy and healthy though instead of letting them risk their health for babies their instincts tell them they need to have.
Get a Honeybadger then you will see some damage. They chase lions, hyenas, get bitten by poisonous snakes, eat scorpions ets. They just walk away with an attitude like give me more. My mom had a meerkat on the farm as a pet.

honestly why dont they just rehome? in the wild, males are driven out/ go their own ways to avoid inbreeding and increase the gene pool. it just seems a bit unnecessary with all these drugs and medical procedures. there are many places where these animals would be properly cared for. im no expert tho can someone please explain? its gotta be deeper than just attachment issues.
You'd have to neuter so many males to make a dent in the birth rate. Then they'd have to do it to each new generation of joeys. Fix a male and you've done nothing, since the remaining males will be plenty enough to impregnate the females. Fix a 100 males and the birthrate may well still be unaffected. Fix a female and the birthrate is down by 1, regardless of how many males and other females are fertile. Fix 100 females, birthrate is down by 100.
@@Hermititis Well, a baboon spay would require significant follow up veterinary care, not just one visit. With this, it's a one-and-done till the next year.

🦒🐨 Hi. There are actually *MANYY* "zoos" that are not open to the public & do not make any profit. Their sole purpose is to protect & preserve the animals.. Most of which are unfortunately endangered. Bottom line is~ not all zoos are bad & not all zoos operate the same. 💕💕🐒
So what if they make money? Making money isn't the same thing as turning a profit. Keeping animals isn't free, and exotic animals are much more expensive than livestock and pets. Retirement home type zoos put animal's comfort and health above customer satisfaction, if people want to come visit even if the animals might all be out of sight (since the habitats would be built to their needs first, and mostly disregard having them on display), then let them come visit and support the cause.
Philosophies starkly differ about this, though modern zoos generally have large habitat yards, not small cages. Perhaps the animals kept and viewed there (which may be individuals not fit for living in the wild anyhow for various reasons) can be seen as ambassadors of their species. Good zoos contribute to the science and practice of good animal husbandry and are kept humane by every measure practical.
I can't believe koalas were hunted for their fur, so sad. I'm glad they are being looked after and Also, the trees 🌳 🐨
Castration. There’s never been a more unappealing but effective video title! 😂
I avoided this video for over a week.
Especially since there was only technically one castration in the video
Yet here we are, watching it anyways! 😅
I prefer the term “neutering”.

We don't realise how big elephants are sometimes. But his ear was as big as a man!
It's dangerous, but necessary. These vets are amazing.
