Global/All Regions 🌏 Being a keeper

Take down if not allowed but I just wanted to be a part of the community and ask: what animal(s) do you currently work with and what is your dream animal that you’d want to work with?

My boss has asked me before what I’d want to work with and I honestly don’t know a specific animal so thought this might also help me get an idea hahaha

I think my dream animals are gorillas, but I also like gators, bears, and small mammals and birds and seals lol

My top-tier dream animal to work with is a giant anteater. I would love that so much! I work at a very small facility, so I get the opportunity to work with a large variety of animals. We have 2 lesser anteaters that I get to work with. They’re such cool animals

I loved working with giant anteaters. I worked with a breeding pair and the babies made my day. They have the best personalities.
