Few people will ever stand as close to a giraffe as Betsy Karkowski has. Giraffes are just one of the many species she has had daily contact with as a zookeeper. “You get to know the animals’ habits, their likes and dislikes,” she says. “They recognize you and depend on you, and that’s a great feeling.”
Taking care of the animals at zoos and aquariums involves more than most visitors imagine. So if exotic-animal work appeals to you, get a head start by learning about a few zoo and aquarium careers, including what the work is like, how to prepare for it, what it pays, and how to gain experience now.
