We got to be very hands-on with different species and animals. Working backstage was incredible experience. Dr Taylor and Tasch were both absolutely amazing. They made our experience a great one and always worked their hardest to ensure we were having the best time.
I loved working with all the animals at the Lory Park Zoo every morning. The safari was so fun! Veterinary days were very fun and I loved the dart lab. Dr Taylor, Tasch, Tiff - all the staff were amazing. I love all of them, they taught us so much.
I loved going on morning rounds and getting to meet with the keepers. I also loved observing the vets and practicing blood draws. Overall, a great program and a great experience! I loved being a part of the zoo and wildlife communities.
My favorite activities during my stay with Loops Abroad were darting, reptile medicine, volunteer work, helping give tours for children, working with other staff and learning! I'm sad, I don't want to go home
