  Our vet operates on the tail of a snake.

We want you to get a close look at the animals but don't want them too close to you. To encourage the animals to stay where
  they are most visible, we have several tricks. There are hidden heat coils in cozy sleeping spots so the tiger will nap in places where
  you can easily see them.
Generally zoo animals are healthier than their wild counterparts. They get the best vet care. Parasites are quickly identified and treated.
  Animals are vaccinated against diseases that can ravage wild populations. We have two veterinarians, an animal hospital, and quarantine
  facilities.
