What do zoo keepers like best about their jobs?
The personal and professional satisfaction that zoo keepers find in their jobs varies from person to person. Most zoo keepers have a deep and lifelong love for animals and really enjoy providing for their day-to-day care. For many zoo keepers the satisfaction of caring for animals that represent some of the last of their species on earth, and sometimes helping to preserve these species through captive management programs is the greatest reward of the job. Being instrumental in the lives of these animals and helping their species to survive is very gratifying.
