A fascinating job
An exciting but very demanding profession. Zookeepers are really dedicated to their animals, they have to be patient and to have a good sense of observation.
It’s an outdoor job who requires autonomy and a good team spirit. Zookeepers are alone all day but they have to work together for decision making and information transmission.
Relational and communication skills are essential for exchanges with visitors.
