Brigade Animo - Allergies

S1 E10
·
2013

We all know people who are allergic to animals, but can animals be allergic too? Dr. Seb will show us that even animals can scratch themselves everywhere. At the Granby Zoo, Vincent will meet a bespectacled bear who is allergic to many things, while Aurélia presents a Siberian cat, a breed that seems less allergenic than others.
