How to you transport a juvenile rhinoceros from Toronto to Vancouver during a pandemic? Vicki Hardstaff, the Toronto Zoo's Animal Logistics Coordinator, joins me in today's episode to discuss the planning and execution of transferring Theo the rhinoceros to the Greater Vancouver Zoo. 
 
We discuss the number of Zoo staff that accompanied Theo; his surroundings during the transfer; and, how long the distance actually is between Toronto and Vancouver!
