Zookeeping

Zookeeping is the profession of caring for animals in a zoo setting. Zookeepers are responsible for ensuring the health and well-being of various animal species by providing them with proper nutrition, cleaning their habitats, observing their behaviors, and engaging in enrichment activities to stimulate their minds. They also educate the public about wildlife conservation and the role of zoos in protecting endangered species. Zookeepers often collaborate with veterinarians and scientists to monitor animals' health and participate in breeding programs aimed at preserving species. Overall, zookeeping blends animal care with environmental education and conservation efforts.
