Caring for Animals
Zookeepers look after the animals in a zoo to make sure they are healthy and happy. They feed them the right food, give them fresh water, and clean their living spaces. They also check for signs of sickness or injury and work with vets to help animals get better. Some animals need exercise or special toys to keep them active, and zookeepers make sure they have those too.
Teaching and Protecting
Zookeepers also help teach visitors about the animals. They answer questions, give talks, and explain how people can help protect wildlife. They keep records of the animals’ health, behavior, and eating habits. Zookeepers work in all kinds of weather, and they often start their day early to make sure everything is ready before the zoo opens. Their job is busy, but it’s full of love for animals and nature.
