Anyone work with exotic animals?

[MD Specialist]

I have been working with exotic animals since 2009. Currently I am a Wildlife Teacher working at an exotic wildlife rescue and teaching after school classes to elementary students. I have worked with big cats (leopards are my favorite), primates, parrots, reptiles, salt water fish and sharks, and even a liger for a bit. I am hoping to progress my career into being a full-time zookeeper, aquarist, or training marine mammals.

What job do you have working with animals and what's your experience? How long did it take you to land a career working with animals? What's your favorite animal to work with?

Thanks!
