Probably the biggest storm of the season so far.

I just got the call that there was potentially a baby rhino born inside of

habitat.

Windshield wipers are going and the adrenaline was really high.

Oh my gosh, look, there it is.

This has never happened overnight on Habitat before.

Hey little baby, you're so cute.

So sometimes the job just throws you a wild card and you kind of have to just

roll with the punches.

Just an interesting night to be born.

Hey guys. Hi.

Got a new baby, huh? Yeah, very exciting.

Last night, right in the middle of a thunderstorm, Aleike surprises with a

calf.

Aleike is about middle age. She's around 20 years old, and she's been at the zoo

for many years. She's had all three of her babies here.

Well, let's take a look at this little kid.

Hey.

Hi, Mama.

Oh, there she is.

Good morning, Munchkin.

Oh, my gosh.

Even though Aleike is an experienced mom, this is the first time we had a

born out on the habitat.

We want to make sure she's hitting all the milestones.

The calf looks alert, walking around, and Mama is paying attention.

They're starting to build that bond.

Hi, baby.

You're so cute.

Okay, good job, Mama.

Look at those ears.

You're such a good mom, Aleke.

Aleke is kind of letting the other rhinos know that this is my calf. You've

to keep your distance.

Mom's protecting you. Being very protective, doing exactly what she

But the calf looks great, right?

That's crazy.

That's my baby.

Baby is super small. She's also really funky.

She's your mom.

She was literally born in the middle of a thunderstorm, so she, I think, will

have that little sparky personality to her.

Hi. I love the first introduction with a new calf.

It's great, and you start building that trust and relationship right away.

Southern white rhinos have really been hit by poaching really, really hard.

I think of my son and all the kids we engage with here at the zoo.

and I can't comprehend them inheriting a world without rhinos.

So every time we have a birth, it really is a sign of hope that we're continuing

the fight to ensure that there's a bright future for white rhinos.

What a great day.

Our macaw flyover is an amazing daily experience.

Our macaws actually fly out of their habitat over where guests come into the

park and then land there for a really good viewing opportunity.

The macaw flyover is one of my favorite parts of my day.

Pina is one of our blue and gold macaws. She is a little over eight years old,

and she has a chronic heart condition that we noticed a couple years ago.

She's been on medication for it.

Recently, she hasn't been doing as well in the flyover.

So today we're bringing Peanut to the hospital to make sure that everything is

looking as it should.

Because birds are so good at hiding their illnesses, it's a little bit nerve

-wracking. What if we find something that we weren't expecting, or what if

heart was a little bit worse?

Hey. Good morning.

Hey. Hey, bird.

So I'm just looking to see how she's breathing. I mean, she looks pretty

Yeah. The main thing with Pina is to make sure that she's healthy to continue

fly, even though she might be flying a little bit lower.

Today we want to supplement Pina with some oxygen.

She's strong.

And then I'm going to try to get some blood from her.

It's okay.

That's all I need. I'm going to let her go, and I'm going to send that blood so

that, you know, we can tell internally her liver, her kidney, all that looks

good on her.

Good girl.

I think we hurt her feelings more than anything else.

I know. I'm sorry. And I think let's see what the blood shows.

Maybe we can work her up even further by doing x -rays and all that kind of

stuff next time.

I'm hopeful that the bloods are going to come back with positive signs.

All right. Bye. Thank you.

It would be really terrible if she wasn't able to continue the flyover.

All right, are you ready to go home to the rest of your friends?

Good morning.

Hi.

Look, October.

Pickle.

Good morning, Remy.

Paddington ready for his treatment?

Ready as he'll ever be.

At Zoo Tampa, we have a manatee critical care center where we rescue, rehab, and

release injured orphan and sick manatees.

We recently got in a manatee from Tampa Bay area.

Still cold.

He was rescued out of Bear Creek, so we decided to name him Paddington after

Paddington the bear.

He's in a good spot.

All right, buddy.

Paddington came in to us with these propeller wounds from a boat strike

The other part of his issue is also what we call cold stress.

When we see a manatee come in with cold stress, one of the first things that we

see externally, at least, are skin lesions.

This is a beta dye, so it's just a nice disinfectant. It can prevent both

bacteria and fungus.

Can I rinse his tail? Yeah.

So, unfortunately, Paddington's tail looks pretty rough. Is that his bone? I

don't know.

Paddington, because of his cold stress lesions, has developed these wounds in

his tail that have ended up sloughing away and causing defects.

So we have two little semicircular areas that are actually missing from his

tail. And the biggest concern with him is that one of those defects is right

over the very end of the tip of the spine that extends into his tail.

There's a chance that that bone is also compromised and he could lose that bone

as well.

Ugh, poor guy.

We didn't do x -rays of his tail. We should add those.

Where we can see that there might be some exposed bone is actually a pretty

concern. So the next step that we're going to do is schedule some radiographs

that part of his tail so that we can look at that bone and make sure there's

signs of any issues that we need to address.

I'm going to give it a little bit of time.

Okay.

All right, buddy.

Ready? Yeah.

Paddington's really severe, pretty critical.

We are very worried about him at this point.

We have 10 different species in the primate loop from all over the world.

Look at Sophie.

And what's so cool is they get to hear and see each other.

Is the road clear?

Here we go.

Today's a really big day. We're going to get a new member of the primate family.

We're getting six Tomadreus baboons from the Prospect Park Zoo in New York.

I'm going to be right here. Once I'm in there, I'm not coming back out.

This is a species we haven't worked with before.

We're very excited about it. They're really, really cute from the pictures

we've gotten.

I see the truck. It's coming.

Primates to all units. We will be unloading.

the baboons behind the old chimp night house. If you could please keep the

service road clear.

I got your suit for you, Dan.

We're putting on some special protective outerwear so that we are protected from

any potential contamination.

Once they clear their quarantine, this will no longer be necessary.

The quarantine process is very important to the baboon welfare, but it's also

important to the keepers that take care of them, in addition to the primates

that live near them.

I'm really nervous. I don't know why, but I'm just like, it's exciting.

Yeah. It's a good nervous.

Baboons are super agile and athletic.

They're really intelligent.

Can we take a peek?

Absolutely.

Okay, I'm going to open up when you give me the go -ahead.

Angela will be inside, Jane will be outside, and then Dan and I will be

up the crate along with the transporters as well. They'll help us out getting

those crates in place. And then at that point, it's a whole lot of just good

coordination and communication to make sure we're all on the same page.

Will you tell her to open the HAB door? All right, open that door.

We've all been on pins and needles waiting for this day to get here, and

finally here.

How is it? I'm so bad.

It's really exciting. It's nerve -wracking. You don't want anything to go

All right, are you ready?

I'm ready.

All right, fire in the hole.

This is a long time coming.

This is a first for Zoo Tampa to have homodrized baboons, and it's awesome.

Okay, close the door in a little bit.

Okay.

Little guy, he's like, what the heck, where am I?

We're just getting our first look at them, and we're looking forward to

to know them better and pretty soon let them out to their outdoor habitat.

Come on!

Humidized baboons are a really cool old -world primate species. They come from

regions of Africa.

Ready for the next one? You ready for me to open?

Okay, ready?

All right, give it access.

Okay.

Come on, buddy.

There are six boys coming to us, ranging in age from 2 years old to 11 years

old. They're loud.

They're really boisterous.

I think they're going to be kind of the tough guys of the block.

And here I am.

There you are.

Okay, Angela, close that gate.

Tulu.

He's very impressive.

And he's easy to identify because he has, like, two white stripes that come

We're going to have a lot of jostling for positions as the young ones grow up.

I really can't wait to

get to know each one individually.

Come on.

They're good. Open.

They're kind of exploring that space, but also talking back to each other.

I'm here. I'm here.

For

us,

it may seem kind of scary and unnerving, but that's great to see a lot of

natural behavior that we look for.

Now that they're all together, they're going to get reacquainted, they're going

to settle in.

We'll start to get to know them over the next few weeks in quarantine.

They'll be out on habitat pretty soon.

It's going to be a big change because the habitats are going in and we have

refurbished. It's our old chimpanzee habitat.

We'll be best friends with them by the end of 30 days.

A lot of people come to the zoo to see the elephants and hippos.

But down in our building, we have a lot of cool little unique species that

nobody really sees too often.

Ranging all the way down to little snails, all the way up to some of our

green morays and big groupers.

He's pretty far up there.

That's sort of his bedtime thing where he puts the shell down over his eyes.

We have a giant red hermit crab. He's new to the zoo.

His name is Eugene.

He's pretty cool because it's the first time this species has been here.

He definitely seems more active at night.

Yeah, he has been.

Coming in the morning, he's kind of in a new spot. A lot of people don't realize

how much personality and intelligence that crabs are actually capable of.

They're just an amazing, amazing animal and endlessly fascinating.

Kind of an iconic Florida species.

Oh, yeah. People love seeing these guys on the beaches.

Probably the most iconic thing about hermit crabs is the fact that their

is very soft, very vulnerable, so they need to drag a shell around with them,

essentially, as their home.

I know he molted last week, so I'm thinking he probably is looking for a

home. So whenever they molt, they need a bigger home, and they need to go find a

shell that's... That's a size up. I want to give him more options. I think those

other shells over there are just a little too big.

Do we have any more shells?

If you want in the back area, we'd have to go look.

Okay. What Eugene and really any hermit crab is probably looking for in a shell

is, first of all, one that's fairly complete, doesn't have any large holes

it, because obviously the point is protection.

Also one that is still tight enough that he can block the entrance with his

claws and be able to defend himself and hide from predators.

He needs a move -in ready home for sure.

Hey, buddy.

I think it would be really cool to see him switch shows.

Oh, look.

It kind of looks like he's measuring it up. It's a measure for dreams.

So we've provided him with some home options, and he can kind of shop around

see what he wants, and hopefully he'll choose one.

That might be the perfect shell farm. Yeah.

This morning I'm going to be giving our mantis their breakfast.

They're hungry.

Their closest relative is the elephant.

They have what's called a prehensile lip, so it's just like an elephant's

where they're able to actually reach out and grab the food, just like an

elephant can do with its trunk.

Manatees overall are a pretty docile animal. They actually have no natural

predators.

Their biggest threat are people.

Between boats and habitat loss, they definitely have a lot of things against

them.

I don't think people realize that each manatee has its own personality, and we

get to know them.

They're such fighters, and we get to watch them really thrive, and it's neat

watch them grow up.

If you spend 10 hours of your day watching an animal, you're going to

they are.

Good morning, Molly. Hi. How are you doing? Okay.

Today we're going to be getting an x -ray on Paddington's tail.

I know Dr. Melissa was concerned.

Yeah, and the tail looks like there's some bone exposure.

Yeah. One thing that is becoming of concern is that on his paddle, the soft

tissue has fluffed so much that the bone, the vertebra, is starting to

I can come up a little if you want. What can happen is infection takes hold.

It could actually cause lysis or the bone will start to eat away.

So I'm going to use our x -ray unit today to try to get some baseline

information and see if there's already some lysis happening.

He still looks pretty poor, so he needs some attention.

He definitely is a mover, so here he goes.

Generally, manatees don't like being out of the water, so they don't always sit

still for us. Paddington, in general, really likes to move his tail often, so

I'm not really sure how still he's going to be for his x -ray today.

All right.

He moves along.

He said I was lifting it for him. I know. I wasn't fast enough. I was

out.

Paddington is flopping around his paddle, and that makes it a challenge

need him to sit still for the x -ray.

Stop moving your tail.

I didn't have to time it just right.

It's all right, Paddington. I'll put my calming hands.

These x -rays are fast now.

All right.

You good? Yep. All right, I'm going to get out of the way.

All right.

That's a good image. Thank you, kind surfer.

I think you did a great job. Let's go one up more, a little more cranial, and

then I think we're good. Okay.

Okay.

All right, shooting, guys.

There.

Perfect. All right.

Now I think you got what we needed.

On the x -ray today, I'm going to be looking at the very tip of his tail.

I do think that this bone looks more lytic or it looks lighter.

If this does not heal over and granulate and get nice good tissue on it, then we

might have to look at just taking that piece off.

Because if not, it could, like, go further in.

Like, would you have more problems? I think the concern would be is if it got

really infected.

Okay. Because what you don't want is infection getting into the bone, and

it starts to ascend upward. Sure.

We know he's dealing with a nasty infection, so I'm going to change up his

antibiotics. I'm going to go a little more aggressive on an antibiotic that

more bone penetration.

I'm cautiously optimistic that this will start to heal up.

He's a lucky guy, actually. He is. That is a word.

Yeah.

Super precious.

Hi, Mom.

Hi, baby.

Lake A's baby girl is now just over a month old.

She doesn't have a name yet. We're still working on that. So for the time being,

she's Baby A.

All right.

I can throw her something if you want to get the gate.

Today we're going to let Baby A do a creep session, which is where we allow

baby the opportunity to come over and hang out with keepers, get some

have some bonding time with us.

But she also has the option to go back to mom if she chooses.

Oh, she's ready. Okay, well, don't wait for us.

Baby's already going. She's excited.

She said, bye, Mom.

Creep sessions are one of my favorite things ever. I don't get to go in with

rhinos very often.

Oh, my goodness. You want some rubs?

Oh, yes, right there.

Is that the spot?

You got the tail curl.

This is why we do this job.

Like, literally.

Yep. And friends like you.

They grow very big, very quick, so you only have a month or two to really get

this opportunity. So we try to do creep sessions very frequently, and when I

suggest a creep session, nobody argues with me.

Everybody's on board.

Oh, we're going down. So sleepy.

Yeah, just give in.

Yeah. Okay.

Oh, man.

Mom's doing really well. She doesn't seem to mind.

I don't seem to mind.

Not at all.

The first thing we look at is mom. If mom is worked up, then we're stopping,

because if mom's worked up, then baby's going to get worked up.

The other thing we look at is baby's demeanor.

She seems really comfortable, comfortable enough to lay down and

belly.

It's time to go be a rhino again, okay?

Hi, baby.

She doesn't want us to go. Like, what?

We should probably stay longer.

All right, come on, little one.

Hey, good job, Mom. You're cute.

Look at her.

Trained.

Trained.

Bye, baby.

Yeah, for creep sessions, I would rate this an 11 out of 10.

Absolutely.

All right, Sensei.

Grab you some Kazuki.

I'm maybe a little bit biased, but I feel like the primates are some of the

fun animals to watch and interact with at the zoo.

They are the ones that are most like us, and people can really relate to.

I had never wanted to do anything except work

with primates.

When I was four years old, I saw a National Geographic magazine that had

Goodall on the cover, and so I decided then that that's who I was going to be

when I grew up.

She's not going to let you get it, Gojo.

Over 17 years here at Zoo Tampa, I've seen a lot of different primates come

go.

Hey, Jamie.

Where's Twiggy?

For 15 years, I worked with the chimps, Jamie and Twiggy and Nick. Twiggy, come.

They were a huge part of my day every day.

And it was a really difficult change to see them leave, to have them move on to

a different phase of their life.

Good.

It's still really strange to go by the chimp habitat and not see them there.

Even though they've been gone for over two years now, I still really miss those

guys.

But having the new baboons in there and having something so different is going

to be kind of a good change, and it'll be full of life and just a lot of fun

getting them to be part of our zoo family here.

I think that's good, yeah?

You're doing great, Ashley.

All right.

Time to shift out some baboons.

We're getting ready to put the baboons on habitat for the first time since they

arrived.

They've been inside on quarantine, so they're going to be happy to get some

fresh air.

Those kids need to get rid of some extra energy. Yeah.

Quarantine period has been really good. It's given us a lot of time to kind of

learn each individual and get to know their different personalities and quirks

and really form that relationship.

You ready for us?

Yeah.

Tulu, I think, knows something different because he wasn't himself this morning.

Tulu is the dominant male, so he kind of rules everything within the group. So

if he goes out, everyone's going to follow him.

You guys are going to be operating the chute door and everything?

Yeah, that way they all go through that chute. Yeah. Okay. Sounds good.

You guys want to go outside?

You ready?

Yep. All right.

Everybody is all eyes on the door waiting to see all six baboons come

out. Hi.

Come on.

What do you think?

Come on out here.

Look at it.

They are getting kind of loud. Sometimes the vocalizations can indicate that

they may be having a disagreement, but these vocalizations sound more like kind

of excited and a little bit nervous.

Watch nobody come out.

If they don't come out at all, it'll be disappointing for us because we were so

excited to see them outside.

They're nervous.

Come on, little boys.

Come on out.

There's the Tulu. Hey, Tulu, you're supposed to be the brave one.

They're all at the gate, but they're all too nervous to come out. We think that

Tulu is going to lead the group outside.

But lo and behold.

Good job, Wawa. That's Wawa.

Wawa's first.

Go brave.

All right, here we go. Here we go.

Tulu probably had Wawa go out first just to check out the space. If something

happens to Wawa, then Tulu knows.

Here they come now.

All right, here's everybody.

Oh, there's Tulu.

So our bachelor group here consists of Tulu, who is the father of Boga, Kwame,

and Samburu.

And then we have a brother pair that is Wawa and Salar.

They are really

active on habitat. They're really fun to watch.

So I think guests are really going to enjoy watching them.

They have needed to get rid of this energy.

Look at little Solara over there. She's so cute.

Come on, baby

girl.

Come here.

She still does fly kind of low.

Last time we took a look at Peanut.

She flies lower compared to the other animals.

So that we think there might be a heart issue.

We got her blood work back, kidneys, liver. She doesn't have an infection.

All that looks good.

Good girl.

Now my next step is to do the x -rays.

All right, ma 'am. All right, all right, all right.

All right, all right.

Because Peanut's heart condition is something that I'm conscious about, we

want to keep her under anesthesia too long.

I'm going to get my x -rays as quick as possible.

All right, Rob, we're good to go.

Shooting.

So what I'm focusing on the x -rays is just to see, is her heart big? Is her

heart small?

Do I have something abnormal inside her chest?

That's pretty good.

All right.

Enough.

All right, baby, that was it.

So this is her heart in here, okay?

And normally my cause...

have like an hourglass shape, you know, to the heart and liver.

My first impression, I don't see anything obvious.

It's not like she has a humongous heart or a tiny little heart.

They just keep doing what you're doing.

Take another x -ray in six months a year.

Okay. It was very much a relief to hear that Peanut's heart was still looking as

we expected, and she's cleared to be back in the flock in the flyover.

Oh, you're such a good girl.

There you go.

Okay, okay. Cool.

Let me know when she's flying and if you have any questions about what she's

flying, but I would love to see her fly. That would be great if I can go ahead

and go with you and take a look at her.

With any animal, we're always trying to figure out what might be wrong.

And many times there's nothing wrong with the animal. It's just that's her

personality. I think, yeah, we're going to accept it as this is going to be

Peanut. She flies low, she likes to fly low, and she enjoys life flying low.

All right, well, thank you so much. No problem.

You ready to go home?

What do you think, Eugene?

Is that a good enough home?

We gave Eugene, the hermit crab, a new shell that we found. We put it in there,

and he actually seems pretty interested.

The fact that he's got his chelopeds, or his claws, down in it is kind of a good

sign he might be starting to clean it out.

So he's got to have it all ready and good before he can move in, if he

it's good enough to move into.

They do tease a lot. Sometimes they'll check a shell out and then nothing.

He changed shells one day and we all got excited and then he just moved back

into his old shell.

Hermit crabs do not like to change shell in front of people, in front of other

animals.

It's a very vulnerable moment for them.

Eugene changed shells.

So he finally made a decision.

Here's the old one that he was in before.

It's got that black rubber tip on it.

And seems to be enjoying his new house.

Looks like this new shell met all of Eugene's criteria on his house hunting

list for tour.

You like your new home?

I'm glad to see you're all set now.

I'm always very happy when I can help an animal get a better home and stay

healthy and happy.

Look at his little eyeballs.

You are ridiculous, sir.

Today I'm going to go check in on the rescue manatees that we have here at the

zoo.

This is Paddington hiding under here.

He's been doing awesome.

His wounds are healing up really, really nicely.

Paddington's looking fantastic.

You can see he's kind of getting a little more active.

He's got such staff now.

He's been doing awesome.

Manatees are incredibly resilient, and believe it or not, they still swim super

well when they have significant loss to their paddle.

So in this instance, I'm actually not really, really concerned that this is

going to impact Paddington's ability to swim.

You want to go check on someone else?

Yeah.

He's healing up beautifully.

Yeah.

I'm hoping he can do some manatee magic.

The baboons have been here for a little over a month now, and quarantine is

finally over.

Today is the first day that we're going to be introducing guests into the mix,

so it's going to be really exciting that guests are going to be able to

experience this new species that we have.

This is definitely a

huge moment.

Have a good day!

It's been a privilege getting to know these baboons. They had a whole other

at their other facility, so the adjustment of coming here is different

They've come a really long way, and they're really doing well.

Their appetite is something we learned in quarantine.

Hamidryas baboons, at least our boys, love food.

I didn't think about it. Oh, boy.

We had no idea what to expect when the baboon boys got here.

Look at them. Look at them. Oh, my gosh. Wow.

Getting to know them was exciting.

We weren't sure how they were going to respond to their environment and what

their personalities were going to be like.

I just really have fallen in love with these baboons.

The guests are never going to leave.

There's just too much fun out here.

You guys are BFFs already, huh?

You're already BFFs?

Christy, you ready?

Baby's ready.

Lakey's baby girl is now just over a month old. She has been named Daruba,

means storm in Swahili, because she was born during a thunderstorm.

We're going to call her Ruby for short.

Ruby's going to go outside for the first time today.

Let's hand it off to mom for comfort level, so this could be a really quick

outing.

Let's go.

Watch out, Ruby.

Here she comes.

Good job, guys.

Oh, my gosh.

The lake is mist going out. I mean, she's been inside because of her

but now she knows what it's like outside. She knows what she's been

she's ready to go.

Your mom left you.

Come on, little lady.

Rhinos have very poor vision. Their eyes are very small compared to the size of

their body.

They're also on the sides of their head, so that creates a lot of blind spots.

Oh, boy.

You just left your child? Your mom left you. That's not where you go. Come here.

Nugget.

You all right?

Oh, my God.

Thank you, Aleike.

You're all right. Get your baby.

Oh, my God.

Aleike just went. She left Ruby in the dust.

That teacher, she doesn't know, Mama.

There you go. Show her the way.

Come on, Meg.

Come on, Aleke.

Aleke was like, oh, I'm a mom, and had to come back and get her.

So she just needs to remember that now she has a little mini -me that needs to

stay with her.

Good job.

You're doing it.

I never really know. what the babies are going to do.

Hopefully Ruby gets in the grass and in the sunshine.

Once they kind of settle out there, we're going to get everybody else out

them to do a big family reunion.

There she goes.

I know, puddles are scary.

We're going to put the girls out with her so she can meet the rest of her

family.

This is a big milestone.

Ruby can be in the rotation to go outside.

During the day, she can now go outside and public can see her and she

can stretch her legs and get... In Richmond, be a rhino.

We're ensuring a bright and long future for rhinos. One day she'll grow up,

she'll have a crash of her own, and have similar calves of her own as well.

I love her.

This means everything to us here at Zoo Tampa.

This is why we do what we do.

It's been a few weeks since Peanut has seen Dr. Nico and gotten her all clear

be up and flying again with the rest of the flock.

Hello, everyone, and welcome to our macaw flyover. I'm pumped, but I haven't

seen Peanut flying, you know, for a while now.

You're good to send a five.

Macaws are very loud animals. In the rainforest, it's very, very dense. So if

you listen closely.

Which one is Pina? Because I cannot recognize her. There we go.

Yeah, that one over there. You cannot tell from, you know, how she's flying

the other ones. Awesome.

At this point, she's doing really well.

We'll just probably maybe once a year do another checkup on her. But the way

she's flying is just like I'm as healthy as everybody else, and you cannot tell

that I have a problem.

I don't know if I will ever get desensitized,

you know, to that experience.

That was freaking cool.

I have seen them in the wild.

Never this close. That was really close.

That was really neat.

There's a lot of people that won't be able in their life, you know, to go and

see them in the wild. Yeah.

Where else are you going to see that?

Go peanut.

We get to watch her do what we love birds doing best, which is flying, and I

know that the guests really enjoy seeing her.

That's cool.

That's awesome.

Hi.

I got Paddington over here with Remy and Pebble.

Awesome. Yeah, he's looking really good, eating, moving around, being social.

When Patty first got here, he was pretty sick.

But as he's getting better and healing up, we are noticing that he's got a lot

of funk in him.

Yay, graduating.

What a big boy.

He looks really, really good.

Once an animal is not under treatment on a daily basis anymore, then we're able

to shift them out front to our larger pool.

I'm so excited for him to go out in the front pool.

All the new friends.

It allows for them to swim more and interact with more manatees.

And it's great news that Paddington is ready to graduate and go up front today.

So what we'll do is we'll open and let them actually come in here.

All right.

It usually takes them a minute to figure out what's going on. They don't know

this gate and they've never been out here.

Go, Paddington, go!

Looks like Titanson is figuring it out that he can go out front and explore a

whole new habitat that he's never been in before.

All right, bud.

Got this.

Officially graduated!

Woo!

He looks fantastic.

He's able to use his tail really well.

Yeah, he's only going to get better and better from here on out.

We'll be able to release Paddington in the future and get him back to the wild.

Live your best life, Paddington!
