Episode 9: Hand-Raising a Pangolin with Bob Cisneros

  • Summary

  • In this exciting episode of Wild Tails, host Mike Bona welcomes Bob Cisneros, a wildlife expert with decades of experience in animal care and conservation. Bob’s impressive career includes time as an animal keeper in San Diego, director of Utah’s Hogle Zoo, and USA board member for Action for Cheetahs in Kenya.

    Bob shares an extraordinary story about hand-raising a pangolin at the San Diego Zoo—a rare and complex task that highlights the challenges of caring for one of the world’s most endangered and unique animals. Pangolins, often targeted by poachers for their scales, are notoriously difficult to care for in captivity, making Bob’s success all the more remarkable.

    Listen as Bob dives into the process of nurturing this elusive mammal and explains why pangolins play such a critical role in global conservation efforts. This is a must-listen for anyone passionate about wildlife, conservation, zookeeping or the incredible work being done to save species on the brink of extinction.
