Party with the Keepers is this Saturday August 1st! Scotty Smalls and all of us keepers will see you there!
And we give you, the blooper reel. Dickerson Park Zoo
To round off Zookeeper Week, a few of our keepers shared why they love being a zookeeper.
Zookeeping is alot of hard work, but its also so very rewarding. And while every day isn't going to be a great day, the zoo professionals at Dickerson Park Zoo make their animals welfare and happiness their main focus. Thank you guys for putting in the hard work and the long hours/days to make sure the zoo is taken care of. Your dedication and love for what you do is outstanding. A week isn't long enough to celebrate all of you.
HAPPY ZOOKEEPER WEEK ❣️
