Zookeeper's Daily Duties
Question: What else do you do as a zookeeper beside clean up after the animals?
Answer: Cleaning the enclosures is a vital part of keeping each animal healthy. It is usually how we begin our day. Other things that we do throughout the day include feeding, observing (for illness and behavior problems), providing enrichment to the animals, performing maintenance on habitats and enclosures, assisting the veterinarian in health check ups and other procedures, and educating the public.
