Episode #7 – Meet Our Head Animal Diplomat
Every day, Aquarium educators present programs to the public, both on site and at schools or other facilities, accompanied by assistants of the furry, scaly or feathered variety. The animals who take part in these outreach presentations are known as “ambassador animals,” and Tanisha La Guardia is in charge of caring for them.
Before she became a lover of snakes and lizards of all sorts, however, Tanisha was scared with a capital “S” of reptiles. Find out how she overcame that discomfort and the delight she takes in winning others over to the herpetological camp.
