Let's take a moment of appreciation for the incredible veterinary team we have here at the NC Aquariums. Our veterinary staff is based in Morehead City and travels to each facility frequently to ensure the health and well-being of our animals. Visiting teams are made up of one of our two full-time veterinarians, both boarded by the American College of Zoological Medicine, along with a full-time veterinary technician and rotating residents from the NC State University Zoological Medical program. These vets care for a wide variety of animals, including reptiles, amphibians, fish, and mammals. Their days can be quite varied. A "typical" day can include anything from seahorse surgery to pre-release exams on rehabilitated sea turtles. Just think of the vast majority of species you see in our facility; all of them are patients of our vets!
