In this episode of Wild Tails, Mara Rodriguez, Zoo Development Coordinator for America’s Teaching Zoo at Moorpark College, takes us behind the scenes of the entertainment industry. Mara shares a memorable story from the 90s, when she brought a trained sea lion to perform on a Nickelodeon show with an up-and-coming host. As she recounts the experience, we get a glimpse into the challenges and joys of training animals for TV and film, and what it takes to make everything run smoothly on set.
