During my zookeeping and environmental education career, I have interacted and worked with a variety of animals, including brown bears, wolverines, red foxes, moose, camels, mountain goats, dolphins, sea lions, raccoons, porcupines, snakes, raptors and ravens. I am also a young adult author, and my debut novel ESSENCE was released in June 2014 by Strange Chemistry Books. Ask me anything!

A month ago I adopted a 3yr old mix dog from a shelter and she was a little timid like she had been abused but still loved everyone in my family. Later on she started to act fearful to my brothers, barking at them when she saw them. Why the change?

Hey.I am currently pursuing Btech in Computer Science and Engineering in India.
But zookeeping has become my dream job. Since I donot have any
qualification in this field, can you guide me to where should I start from?
Is there any way I can get into this profession without actually getting a
degree?

I know I want to work with animals, but I don't know which job to choose. I guess I really just want to know if it's possible to have more than one job at a zoo and how do you know which animal related job is the right choice for you?
