The Wild Animal Sanctuary offers interns many opportunities to gain experience in exotic animal care. The staff has a very positive and open-minded attitude and they are always willing to help others. They truly care about the animals and want to genuinly make a difference in the animal world. The staff also gives you independence once you have shown that you are trustworthy and reliable and that is something that means a lot as an intern. I highly recommend this internship to those who want to work closely with big carnivores.
What I wish was different
The only thing that I wish was different was that the internship paid however, I understand why that is currently unavailable.
Advice
Come prepared to work. This internship is hard work however, it is so worth it! Drinks lots of water and create a sleep schedule early on. Lastly, it is always helpful to take notes and keep an open mind about different learning techniques and perspectives.
