Prepare for the future
The Texas Zoo is on a mission to connect the public with wildlife and the importance of preserving as many species and habitats as possible. Many of the animals at the Texas Zoo are native to Texas and most are rescue animals that could not be returned to the wild. During your time in Texas, you can look forward to:

  • Daily field classes on topics including large animal exams, rehabilitation and release, and designing animal enrichment activities
  • Researching and presenting your own Keeper Talk to the visiting public
  • Time in the lab to discover topics including animal first aid, parasitology, and enclosure design
