More than 13,000 residents live at the Tennessee Aquarium, and because of the dedicated work of our caretaking and veterinary teams, many of them have far exceeded their species’ median life expectancy in human care.
Just like with people, advanced age brings on a host of changes to how animals experience the world around them, and this necessitates adjusting how we care for them.
In this episode, we’ll chat about how we adjust our approach to tending to our older residents.
