This year’s Species360 Conservation Science Alliance Symposium promises a fascinating line-up of speakers who are leveraging shared global wildlife data from the Species360 Zoological Information Management System (ZIMS), to address critical challenges in wildlife care and conservation.
Knowing how fast an animal grows helps conservationists make better decisions about its care and potential release into the wild. It affects when an animal can breed, how likely it is to survive after release, and how to provide proper care in a zoo setting.
While scientists have studied wild massasauga growth, there hasn’t been much data on how these snakes grow in zoos, until now.
