study these animals. There is a veterinary hospital, large enough to accommodate takhis and large antelopes, a frozen sperm and embryo bank (with containers cooled by liquid nitrogen), and a state-of-the-art geographic information systems (GIS) laboratory, where CRC staff members can plot the movements of radio-collared Asian elephants in Sri Lanka and measure the disappearance of Burmese forests.
The CRC also has pioneered the use of non-invasive techniques to collect information on the animals in their care. There is a wealth of information which can be collected without ever immobilizing or stressing the animals. DNA from hair or feces helps determine which animals are least closely related to each other, essential for management of breeding. Hormones in feces or urine can tell everything from stress levels to breeding status. Furthermore, to minimize stress, keepers train animals to come to them for treats and remain calm during veterinary exams and procedures.
