#31: Always on Guard
If I’ve learned one thing from this list, it’s that being a zookeeper is not for the faint of heart! The fact that you can casually list off all those injuries just goes to show how common it must be to get hurt on the job. It’s impossible to even think about how they even got some of these injuries.
But in all seriousness, it takes a lot of bravery to work with these animals daily. It’s a reminder that even the cutest and most cuddly-looking creatures can be dangerous when provoked. It’s a good thing that zookeepers are so well-trained to handle these kinds of situations – do you think you could do it?
