How zoos care for animals!
Description
This week we're visiting the incredible San Antonio Zoo in San Antonio, Texas 🦁 to understand the inner workings of zoos! We're joined by Andreau Papadakis to learn why zoos exist, the role they play in protecting species through breeding and rehabilitation programs 🐢, and the different jobs and education paths that could lead curious Orbiters to work at a zoo someday!
This episode is part of the “Cool Jobs for Curious Kids” series, featuring STEM professionals responding to kids’ questions, a collaboration between LevelUp Texas and Cumbre Kids, powered by Texas A&M University.
