I really liked that the internship rotated through all the animal care sections so I had the opportunity to work with every animal in the zoo.
What I wish was different
I wish that I had equal amounts of time working in each area of the zoo, I worked more days in some sections and only 1 day in others.
Advice
Soak in every moment of working with these awesome animals. A lot of people will never get to be as close to these animals as you are unless they are doing a similar experience so make sure you are really enjoying yourself.

What I liked
I loved working with the public, talking with them about animals and conservation.
What I wish was different
I wish I had had more time to be trained with more of the education aninals.
Advice
Put the time in to memorize all the animal facts. It's worth it to become more well-spoken about the exhibits and education animals.
