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!

Hey, I want to be a zookeeper but I do not know what is the best way to become one. I'm a second year biology student and there are not any zoology colleges within 4 1/2 hours, is it possible to become a zookeeper with just a biology degree?
