COMPMED 10SC: Comparative Anatomy and Physiology of Mammals

This course introduces the student to common laboratory, domestic, and exotic mammals through lectures, dissection labs and student presentations. Using a comparative approach, investigates the unique adaptations of species in terms of their morphological, anatomical, and behavioral characteristics. Focus on how these species interact with their own and other species (including humans), discuss basic evolution, and the devastating impact of habitat destruction on wild animals. Class provides the student with a deeper appreciation for the diversity of the mammalian orders, along with the fundamentals of comparative anatomy, physiology, and basic dissection techniques. A large collection of skulls, bones and plastinated organs facilitate learning mammalian anatomy, and a field trip to a local zoo enables students to appreciate behavior and locomotion of assorted mammals in their ¿native¿ habitats.

COMPMED 11SC: Life in the Zoo: Behavior, Welfare and Enrichment

Emphasis is on how animal welfare sciences provide an evidence-based approach to optimize and balance each of these demands so that "good welfare is good business." Topics include how to apply principles of animal behavior to design environmental enrichments beneficial to both animals and complex mission of the zoo; assessing exhibits from the point of view of animal behavior and well-being, educational opportunities and guest experience; developing an enrichment plan; designing and building enrichments for animals; interacting with the public as docents; assessing overall effectiveness of new enrichment. Class includes experience at San Francisco Zoo.
