A day in the life of a zookeeper

See behind-the-scenes at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

I really want to be a zookeeper, and I know the pay typically isn't great. But as long as I'm happy I don't care, besides, whatever anyone makes at a zoo should be enough to pay rent for an apartment and get groceries.

[@bruhbruh1546]

do what makes you happy , a job you love is a job you keep

[@randomaltv7798]

This is so interesting! Definitely on the list of options for a future job! Thanks and wonderful video! :)

[@Johnson-nd4mc]

Man I love animals but I don’t think I could do this! Y’all zookeepers have my respect

[@alistairaugustus7352]

these guys don't get the respect they deserve . next round on me fellas !

[@bigredhead888]

I can’t wait to have this job

[@katelinmarie1276]

Me too, I want to be a zookeeper so bad, I love animals.

[@Soodlenoup3781]

Same

[@elim.4204]

Being a zookeeper looks fun

[@mysterygirlbehindthemic646]

I'd really like to do this cause I love animals but my parents are against it because they say I wouldn't make enough money

[@naomimuller8359]

As a zookeeper you won't get rich, ill give them that. But following your passion and being happy in life is way more important than that. Are there any schools near you that offer the right education? You could explain how much you want this and that you don't care about the money, maybe show them some info like flyers? Hope you'll convince them!

True

[@iamcooper3530]

Do 2 jobs

[@MrJordanio0825]

That would be difficult because working with animals can take quite a toll on you.

[@mattvonwenden5405]

@@iamcooper3530 That may be difficult. Zoos and Aquariums greet 1000s of visitors a year, so the animals need much tending to, so it may be a challenge, the more animals you have the less likely.

[@j4ckofhearts]

i wanna be a zookeeper i love animals so much :)

[@soggycookie345]

Naudia Autumn hey army, I hope you achieve your dream!!

[@vegetalover1009]

If there’s a million fish how do you know if you fed every one

[@Rizwankhatri786]

[@cartersaul2505]

I am coming Columbus in 5 years

[@Soodlenoup3781]

Is it weird that i thought elephants did not have mouths and just sucked the food straight through their noses?🤣🤣🤣

[@beek.4860]

Yes. Yes, it is weird.

[@alexclark4792]

Restaurant quality food for the animals? So you mean sub par pre frozen over farmed crap? Former cook of many chains. I'd bet zoo animals eat better than city humans.

[@katsudone_withyou6039]

As someone who has seen inside the kitchens of different zoos, I can confirm they give the animals like REALLY good quality food.

[@evolution18591]

Katsudone_withyou because these animals are worth more than humans

I will make a zoo were there will be all the animals In the wold and a senter were you can make your own animals for free but vip and the hotel will cast a lot of money.

[@Zenitho_0]

creep and eek world* centre* cost*

[@bug.581]

creep and eek you can’t just make animals?

[@borissavic4176]

Kinda ironic that hotel and VIP cost a lot of money, considering creating your own animal would be built off a machine that would cost billions of dollars; maybe even more to construct. For that matter why isn't avocado free then, seeing how every fast food restaurant charges extra if you request it? :/
