“I really loved getting hands on experience in the animal caretaking field. It was awesome to see how zookeeping is intertwined with conservation efforts beyond just creating a safe and stimulating/natural environment for the animals. I also loved getting to know the keepers and learn about the other departments in the zoo. I learned so much with my experience and I would highly recommend pursuing an internship with the Saint Louis Zoo.”
