Are you an animal lover? Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes of your local zoo? If any of this sparks your interest, you might want to consider becoming a zookeeper! In this video for kids, we discuss what a zookeeper does, and what it takes to become one!
You might be wondering what a zookeeper is, and what they do. Zookeepers are the caretakers of the animals in a zoo, from the smallest reptiles to the largest mammals. They interact with animals of all shapes and sizes, from feeding and grooming them, to providing fun learning activities that stimulate an animal’s natural instincts. Zookeepers make sure that all of the creatures in their care have balanced diets and regular medical check-ups. They also make sure that the animals have exciting places to live that feel like their natural habitats and help them feel comfortable and safe.
Would you be surprised to learn that zookeepers can work in other places, not just zoos? They can also work in aquariums, wildlife sanctuaries, and conservation centers. Zookeepers can also participate in fieldwork to study wild populations and educate the public about conservation efforts.
