More than just monkeying around!
Have you ever wondered what it’s really like to be a zookeeper?
Zookeepers are chefs, care takers, builders, scientists, researchers, conservationists, engineers and architects. The Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo is celebrating National Zookeeper Week by showcasing our incredible zookeepers and the amazing work they do every day. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to celebrate zookeepers with us!
Gainesville is home to the only teaching zoo on a college campus accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums in the nation, training future zookeepers in the highest standards of animal care.
