Zookeeper

Zookeepers care for animals in zoos and wildlife parks, managing their daily needs and wellbeing. The work involves feeding, cleaning enclosures, observing health and behaviour across diverse species, providing enrichment, assisting with veterinary care, and often educating the public.

They work at zoos, aquariums, and wildlife parks. The role suits dedicated, observant people who genuinely care for animals, can handle the physical and sometimes unglamorous daily work, read the behaviour of unpredictable animals, and combine compassion with the knowledge and discipline that good animal husbandry requires.
