Polar bear training at Saint Louis Zoo

Animal training through positive reinforcement, like this session with Kali the polar bear, allows the animals to voluntarily participate in their own care at the Saint Louis Zoo. Training allows keepers and veterinarians to do their jobs more safely and easily, and it’s also enriching for the animals. Watch Kali show off his teeth and paws and even lay down on cue, all for some of his favorite food – chunks of herring and lard!
