How zoos care for animals! (zoologist)

Hey there, Orbiters! 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!
