Animal CareAnimal Care is a full team effort. Many people are involved in making sure every animal is taken care of in a safe and healthy environment, is given all of the necessary basic needs, and is provided enrichment as well. Although many people think of zookeepers and veterinarians as the main animal caretakers, many different people and careers are important. This also includes nutritionists, curators, scientific researchers, maintenance, and many more!
