At the Aquarium
Virtual Visit: Shark
Target Training
Tuesday, March 24, 2020 by New England Aquarium
It’s time for another Facebook Video.
This time, Taylor is joined by Aquarists Christina and Jason at the Trust Family Foundation Shark and Ray Touch Tank to discuss target training for sharks.
Target training sessions are held four times a week for the sharks. Each species has its own target, such as one of red and black circles. The training helps in the health care of the animals and stimulates their thinking skills.
