Zoo and aquarium employment is not always glamorous. Much of the work requires physical strength, as well as the ability to make detailed observations. Captive animals can require attention 24 hours-a-day, seven days-a-week.
But, the rewards for such efforts are great. Zoo and aquarium employees share in the knowledge that they are providing the best care for the creatures in their facility, as well as developing a forum for others to learn how they too can participate in the conservation of our planet’s natural resources.
