The Nashville Zoo has introduced three serval kittens born on May 21 that are beginning training to become future ambassador animals.
The kittens, named David Attenborough (Atty), Rachel Carson (Carson), and Jane Goodall (Goody), have spent their first weeks behind the scenes with their mother, Cleopatra.
The zoo said the kittens are being raised through a co-rearing program, allowing them to remain with Cleopatra for nursing and natural development while receiving daily hands-on socialization from animal care staff.
The trio has now started training with the zoo’s Behavior Husbandry team, and visitors can watch daily training sessions at 3 p.m. at the HCA Healthcare Veterinary Center.
