WHAT WILL BE MY DUTIES AND TASKS?

A zookeeper's responsibilities usually include feeding,
maintaining and cleaning the animals, diet preparation,
behavioural observation, record keeping, exhibit
maintenance and providing environmental enrichment
for the animals in their care.

Also, you may conduct behavioural or reproductive

research on a species and participate in public education
through talks, programs or shows.

You are expected to clean enclosures every day, look

for any signs of injuries or illness in the animals, and in the
case of sickness or injury, the keeper is responsible for
contacting a veterinarian, and sometimes a zookeeper
will assist a veterinarian.

Some zookeepers train the animals to make caring for

them easier. This makes it a very exciting and varied role!
