I was an intern this past summer at the Nashville Zoo at Grassmere. My job was a keeper assistant, so I essentially followed the keepers around their shifts to learn and to help. I got to do many exciting things such as training, shifting animals (moving animals from one enclosure to another), creating enrichment for animals, and giving keeper talks. One of my favorite things was getting to learn each animal’s personality as well as their care routine. It was an absolutely amazing experience.
