  • Description

    Help out zookeepers and learn about the likes and dislikes of sun bears, camels, elephants, tigers and more. Your tasks might include feeding, cleaning out and catching the animals and working as a guide.

  • Highlights

    Volunteer Role

    Work as a zookeeper looking after animals. The zoo plays an important role in breeding wild animals, especially endangered species.

    Animals you could be working with include orangutans, rhinos, elephants, camels, giraffes, monkeys, lions, tigers, reptiles and sun bears.

    Together with the Zookeeper you will be responsible for the daily maintenance of the animals. You will clean and maintain their areas, learn about each individual animal, find out what they like to eat and be responsible for keeping them well fed. You will also learn about their behaviour and if you feel confident enough you can work as a Zoo guide to school children and tourists. The vet may also require you to help to catch animals should some treatment be needed.

    You may also be helping to build new exhibits, improve signage around the zoo and generally helping with zoo maintenance.
