It always boggles my mind, but not everyone has a love and fascination for animals - so it's an amazing service that zookeepers provide by educating the public about the myriad of creatures we share the planet with!

Each animal here was referenced from photos courtesy of zookeepers: the giraffe a mix of one from San Diego and The Bronx; Casey the silverback from Audubon Zoo; Molly the snow leopard from Central Park Zoo; and I'm not sure where the boa is from, but her photo was likewise taken by one of my zookeeper friends! Thank you for being so generous with your experiences!
