What is a mammal keeper?

A mammal keeper is a professional who cares for mammals in a zoo, wildlife park, or sanctuary. They are responsible for providing a safe and healthy environment for the animals, as well as ensuring that they receive proper nutrition and veterinary care. Mammal keepers also educate the public about the animals they care for, and may be involved in research and conservation efforts.

Some of the duties of a mammal keeper include:

* Feeding the animals and ensuring that they have access to fresh water

* Cleaning and maintaining the animals' enclosures

* Observing the animals and monitoring their behavior

* Providing enrichment activities for the animals

* Administering medication and providing other forms of veterinary care

* Educating the public about the animals and their conservation status

Mammal keepers typically have a degree in biology, animal science, or a related field. They also have experience working with animals in a zoo, wildlife park, or sanctuary. Mammal keepers must be able to work independently and as part of a team, and they must be able to communicate effectively with the public.
