Online: Anatomy, Behavior & Conservation of African Big Cats

This trip was very educational about animal welfare and conervation. It was also fun getting to know my peers and staff. I enjoyed getting to come up with enrichment to better help the animals at the sanctuary!

Our leader went above and beyond to make sure every meal was sorted and evenings were very fun and made for great bonding. I'd love to apply for staff in the future! 10/10 for everything - I loved the tours, edissection, practicing blood smears, and making enrichment

I really enjoyed attending the virtual Anatomy, Behavior and Conservation of African Big Cats course lead by Dr. Peter DiGeronimo (What a great last name!). I appreciated the extra information and articles, which allowed me to dig deeper into the material instead of taking notes from the lectures. I have never learned so much about a species in 8 weeks, and I enjoyed every minute of it. I like the self-paced aspect which allowed me to learn instead of cram. Overall, I enjoyed this course and can't wait to learn more with LoopAbroad!

This course was very informative and interesting. I took it to gain some pre-professional hours for college and got a lot out of it. The lectures were put out to do at your own pace and discussions were free to post on daily. I learned so much about these big cats and how they are similar and different when compared to the domestic cats we have in our homes. The course had modules that covered big cat anesthesia, sedation, reproduction, nutrition, and many other interesting, important topics. If you're looking into zoo veterinary medicine, or simply just want to learn more about these big cats I'd recommend this course.
