Naples Zoo’s mission is to inspire people of all ages to respect, value, and help conserve wildlife and our natural world. Through our internship program individuals learn through a variety of disciplines and have the chance to obtain a unique and meaningful career experience in a beautiful setting with amazing animals!
Our internships are designed to provide individuals who are currently enrolled in or recently graduated from college the opportunity to have an in-depth, hands-on experience learning and working in the zoo profession.
This internship is catered towards individuals who have a strong desire to work with carnivores in a zoological setting. Interns will be exposed to a variety of carnivores within our collection. Interns will learn from and work with keepers, assisting in the daily husbandry of all zoo carnivores, including enrichment activities and observing operant conditioning training sessions. They will also be exposed to routine daily record keeping practices as well as have the opportunity to observe veterinary procedures, when possible. Other duties will include routine animal observations, reporting any concerns to the keepers on duty, and other tasks as assigned.
Interns will be expected to follow the safety guidelines set forth by the keepers they are assisting. Carnivores are dangerous animals and working with and around them provides the opportunity for potentially dangerous situations and/or interactions. Zero tolerance will be had for interns who do not follow safety guidelines.
This internship is a physically demanding experience and will require intermediate levels of strength and flexibility as well as the ability to work for long periods of time on their feet. Candidates must have the ability to work outdoors in all types of weather conditions, especially in rain and heat typical of South Florida. Uniform shirts will be provided to all interns upon the start of internship.
