Zoo Keeper
The zoo keeper takes care of the animals everyday.
Who Takes Care of the Animals?
Each animal has a diet designed just for them
It depends on what is best for each animal.They feed fresh fruits and vegetables', hay,
alfalfa fish and meat.
What do the animals eat?
With our carnivores we always have a protective barrier between the animal and the zookeeper.
Why don’t the animals eat the owners when they are feeding them?
We try to make the exhibits look like the places where the animals live in the wild.
We add trees to climb and pools to swim in
What do the animal’s homes in the zoo look like?
No, at the St. Paul Zoo we have Grant’s Zebras.
Their names are Ulysses, Minnie, and ThelmaThey are Black and White
Do you have all white Zoe zebras at your zoo?
Yes, we have many tanks of fish!
Do you have any fish at your zoo?
Some animals, like the polar bears, stay outside all year round and really like the snow.
Other animals, like the gorillas, have inside exhibits they can go to when the weather is bad.
Where do the animals go when it rains or snows?
I have never had an animal choke that I have worked with.
We will try to help them if it is safe for usSometimes we let them clear it on their own
if it is not safe for us.
When the animals choke what do you do?
The animals at Como Zoo get lots of different things to play with-balls, sleds, branches, sheets, and boxes all make good enrichment toys.
What do the animals play with?
Cheetahs can run at speeds up to 70 miles per hour
But they can only stay at that speed for 20-60 seconds
How long can a cheetah run?
We have 2 Timber wolves, Denali and Shy-Anne and two polar bears, Buzz and Neil
We have one parrot who is named “Turkey”
Do you have wolves, bears, turkeys or parrots in your zoo?
We had a butterfly exhibit 3 years ago. We are planning to have it again in a year or so.
Do you have a butterfly place?
They can be a lot of fun to work with but are a lot of work to take care of!
What else can you tell me about zoo animals?
