Interns can expect to work with over 100 different species. Avian species include songbirds, waterfowl, woodpeckers, and birds of prey. Mammal species include eastern cottontail, opossum, skunk, raccoon, fox, coyote, white-tailed deer, Bobcat, Mink and five different species of squirrels. Turtles include terrestrial and aquatic species as well as salamanders and snakes. Responsibilities include learning several different feeding techniques, preparing species specific formulas, animal husbandry, data entry, admission and triage of new patients, hospital hygiene, and enrichment.
