Shadow normally is a bit shy during the Saturday night feeding programs. He's the most anxious about strange humans, and the feeding program crowds with camera flashes usually keeps him off the carcass. This past Saturday, Curator Lori Schmidt and assistant curator, Donna Prichard entered the enclosure during the feeding to get video and still camera footage. With the presence of two handlers, Shadow became extremely excited and confident with the program. He stayed on the carcass long into the program and guarded Maya from Malik. There was some good opportunity for footage and images with the new camera, again, many thanks to John and Donna Virr for the camera donation.
