Zebras are prey animals, making them skittish and often difficult to train. The zebra care team has really earned their stripes by training Vern, Stewart, & Earl to allow blood draws and vaccinations as well as general medical observations. This is a big accomplishment and requires daily training sessions to earn the zebras' trust. This great video is brought to you by Great American Insurance Group | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
