Zebra Keeper Created By: Elia-Belle Meneses
What Does It Take? To be a zebra keeper, you must go to school to become a zoologist. Zoologists study animals from a scientific standpoint, learning about behaviorism, genetics, evolution and more. A minimum of a bachelor's degree is required to enter the zoology field, but those wishing to fill research or teaching position often need a doctorate. Zoology degrees are available at bachelor's, master's and doctoral levels. In addition to studying subjects like genetics and evolution, undergraduate zoology students typically take general biology and chemistry courses. Most graduate-level zoology programs allow students to specialize in areas like molecular biology or ecology. Master's and doctoral degree programs also typically have heavy research requirements, including a thesis or essay.
What Does It Take? Cont. A minimum of a bachelor's degree is required to pursue a career in zoology; however, most career training is completed on the job. Zoologists who want to advance into managerial or director's roles often need at least a master's degree, and those who wish to work as professors or researchers should have a doctorate. Since research positions are often highly competitive, doctoral students should strive to build impressive resumes prior to graduation.
How am I Going to Get There? I am going to get that job by getting my doctoral degree in zoology so I can get a farm filled with Zebras. I’m going to need to get more than one zebra at a time because, like horses, they are companion animals and need constant company.
How Am I Going To Get There? Cont. They are a social, herding species that is not used to single living. I am going to need to buy land with at least one and a half acres for plenty of grazing land because many hours a day they spend grazing, with a 8 ft fence surrounding the entire thing because they are high jumpers. Much like horses.
How Am I Going To Get There? Cont. Your zebra may catch an infectious disease, so be sure to make sure you take good care of each and every zebra. Board zebras in a stable during winter months if you live in a cool climate. Zebras will often not survive in climates with below-freezing temperatures.
What Do I Do On A Regular Basis? On a regular basis I, feed and water my 500 zebras!!!!! I will need to treat them much like I would a horse because they get lonely without their company. I will also have to hire people to help me take care of each individual zebra. I will probably only care for about 5 and the rest my workers handle. 5 zebras per worker.
What Do I Do On A Regular Basis? I will also have to scan the surrounding areas with my employees and make sure the zebras aren’t eating anything out of they're diet. Doing this could cause much harm to the animal, and to her child if applicable.
