Zookeeper

Zookeepers are responsible for the daily care and welfare of animals within zoological parks or aquariums. Their duties include feeding, cleaning enclosures, monitoring animal health, and assisting in breeding programs. Zookeepers also play a role in educating the public about wildlife conservation and the natural habitats of the animals under their care. They often work closely with veterinarians and research staff to implement best practices for animal management and welfare. Working conditions vary, including outdoor and indoor environments, and may require irregular hours including weekends and holidays.
