Happy #WorldAnimalDay and #InternationalZookeeperDay on the theme "Save animals, Save the planet". Coexisting is not just about saving a particular species, but about educating people… collaboration = conservation. 🙏🏼 to the amazing #ZooKeepers who make this possible 💚🐾🌎

Happy #InternationalZookeeperDay to some of the most overworked, underpaid people I know. Thank you for all you do.

This is a common behavior for regular health observation. A zookeeper petting the nose of a greater one horned rhino during a Trekking for Rhinos event at the zoo.

And to be clear, I don't know how much these *specific* keepers in this thread make- I just am highlighting the special relationships these folks have with their animals. #InternationalZookeeperDay

If you have any fun aquarist photos to share, please do! Unfortunately I don't have any great aquarist photos to share. Happy #InternationalZookeeperDay to all those incredible animal caretakers out there. Even if you are caring for terrestrial creatures... :)

INTERNATIONAL ZOOKEEPER DAY
Silas doesn’t agree with the idea of zoos, especially when animals are kept in cages. Having infiltrated one, he steals a set of keys and sets out to empty all their cages, despite the ensuing chaos.
