This job is full of variety every day. You could be feeding exotic birds in the morning and helping clean a reptile house in the afternoon. Some days you might help with animal training or enrichment activities that let animals use natural behaviours. You’ll meet visitors who want to learn cool facts about animals and help them understand conservation. You may work outdoors, learn about many species and use modern tools to keep records. You’ll also work closely with vets, researchers and other keepers who share your passion.
As a Zoo Keeping Technician, you help ensure animals are healthy, safe, and well cared for in zoos and similar settings. You feed them, clean their enclosures and observe their behaviour so you can spot signs of illness early.
