Know more than we do? Tell Us!

You feed and train animals that most people consider wild. You know how to make an elephant stand on his hind legs, you taught a monkey to play Angry Birds, and the snow leopard listens to you! You have the keys to the cages and access to the aquariums even when the zoo is closed. Audiences turn to putty when you explain the mating rituals of marsupials. You are Ace Ventura, George of The Jungle, and The Dog Whisperer all wrapped into one.
