Treating and Preventing Lead Poisoning in Wildlife

“UNTAMED” - a co-production of VPM and the Wildlife Center of Virginia - introduces viewers to the natural and man-made challenges facing wildlife today and, most importantly, what we can do to make a difference.

Treating and Preventing Lead Poisoning in Wildlife

Untamed Season 2 Episode 4 | 26m 46s | CC

Lead toxicity is a significant problem for Bald Eagles, vultures, and other birds of prey; more than two-thirds of eagles admitted to the Wildlife Center of Virginia have measurable levels of lead in their blood. Join the Wildlife Center staff and other experts to learn why lead poisoning occurs in wildlife, how it’s treated, and how we can work together to solve this preventable problem.
