I'm very lucky to have a job that involves close encounters with wildlife, including handling animals, & to sometimes be able to share this. Importantly, this work is done by trained staff with the required permits + following procedures to ensure animal welfare is maintained. 👇
As with all the footage I post from work: animals are handled by or under the supervision of trained staff for monitoring/research purposes, with the required permits & animal ethics approvals in place. Handling is kept to the minimum required to collect monitoring data.

Was going to just let this slide but then realised the account is full of far-right pro-Trump garbage so managed to get it taken down. Rare twitter W.
