work in a zoo

i don’t want to work in a zoo forever, just for a couple of months. “What did you do today?” “fed some giraffes, played with some monkeys” i want that!!!

Before I moved to England to do my MSc, I worked at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. Working with the animals (primates, in my case) made me realize that working with animals was definitely what I wanted to do.

It is hard work. No joke. But in the end, it was definitely worth it. Hopefully I can work with a zoo in some other respect at some point.

What are you all doing to acheive your goal of being a zoo keeper? I am trying to switch my major from Zoology to Animal Science with the hope that I can one day work as a zookeeper.
