Description
See where the reproduction science happens! Your special two-hour tour by Reproductive Physiologist, Dr. Pierre Comizzoli, for up to four people, will take you to the Zoo's state-of-the-art reproduction laboratories, including the Genome Resource Bank of cryopreserved sperm, eggs, and embryos from endangered species. See the laparoscopic instruments used for artificial insemination in the giant panda, black-footed ferret, cheetah and other animals. See cells on the microscope to learn how scientists know the best timing for the inseminations; and learn about male reproductive problems and abnormal sperm observed in many endangered species.
