Because they are wild animals, they can be dangerous and unpredictable when they are exposed to unfamiliar surroundings or changes in their routine.įor this reason, the Communications team will consult with Animal Care staff (manager level or above) to determine what level of access may be permitted. Unlike people, we cannot reassure them with explanations. They are creatures of habit and can be sensitive to changes in their routine, unfamiliar equipment and people, unusual noises, and excessive commotion of any type. When covering news pertaining to the animals, it is important to remember that animals are observant, perceptive, and intelligent and possess senses far beyond the capability of humans. To access the organization’s properties, members of the media must connect with the Communications team prior to arrival for special arrangements to be made, including having a required onsite escort available for assistance in navigating the property, potentially answering guests’ questions, and connecting with other team members as appropriate. Please contact the Communications team at with any additional questions or to make arrangements for onsite coverage. It is the goal of our Communications team to provide a service to the media and to ensure their time spent at our properties is as productive as possible. ![]()
