I was searching for a place to be able to talk to others that are involved in zookeeping, conservation, etc...and came across this site. Anyhow, glad I found it. I'm a zookeeper in carnivors. However I've worked with hoofstock and large mammals as well. I've got lots of pics and have had some amazing opportunities to train several species. So, I'm hoping I can learn that which I don't know and discuss subjects with like-minded people.
 
Welcome to ZooChat:D Its always nice to have another keeper:) What kind of carnivores have you kept. I am guessing you work for the Baton Rouge zoo?
 
I worked at Louisiana Purchase Gardens & Zoo in Monroe, Louisiana and about to start work for the Baton Rouge Zoo. Let's see, I've worked with Siberian, Bengal, and White Bengal Tigers. Jaguars. Lions. Black bear. Cougars. Servals and Caracals, Ocelots. Bobcats. And Coyotes. I'll have the chance to work with Malaysian and Sumatran Tigers, cheetah, and otter. In Large mammals, Giraffes, White Rhino, Hippo, Tapir, warthogs, ...Zebra, Ostrich, Emu...I've really had awesome opportunity. :) How bout u?
 
Thats a huge list! Servals (I have a savannah cat) and cheetahs are my favorites:) Do you have a favorite. I think you'll find this website very nice, as there are many with similar experiances. I have never kept any, as I am only 15 :( Thanks :)
 
Welcome to zoochat im sure you'll find many zoo employees here and many zoo enthusiasts
 
Thanks to all for the warm welcome! :) Well, I love all the cats and carnivors in particular, but I think my favorite is the tiger. But its too close to call because I love working with the bears as well.
