A Day in the Life of an Education Zoo Crew Member

Hooray for learning

A Zoo Crew volunteer shows off some cool biofacts in the aquarium. There's not many people who can say they've touched a starfish and blowfish before.

 

Name: Jacqaelinne Tobar, Second Year Zoo Crew Volunteer
Section:  Education

Being part of the zoo sure is different from camp.  I get to do biofact carts and keeper chat surveys.  The people are a lot of fun to be around and are very interesting.  Being here and helping to educate people is a great opportunity for me.

      On Monday August 10th at 8am we welcomed a brand new baby boy giraffe. He still doesn’t have a name, but we hope one will stick with him soon. The keepers have a few in mind and they have to find just the right one to match him.
