Today for #NationalZookeeperWeek we`re highlight our incredible Night and Float Teams!
The Night Team includes Disa, Becky, and Erin who have been transforming the role for the past several years to an engaging, collaborative and integral part of the overall Animal Care Team. Unlike many of the staff who work during the day, they are responsible for every animal and all the facilities when the sun goes down. While everyone else is fast asleep, their nights are busy feeding, medicating, enriching, monitoring and ensuring the comfort of all the animals around the Zoo. Every single night, this amazing team of caregivers provides the very best care to animals across the Zoo.
Our Float Team has grown in the past few years to include six full-time specialists who provide comprehensive support to all our animal care teams. Anton, Austin, Christa, Jessi, Kate, and Rhonda contribute in a multitude of ways, including husbandry, staffing coverage, enrichment, staff and animal training, marketing and social media support, and developing animal tours and visitor experiences. The variety of their roles with both staff and animals ensures that we have very dedicated Float Specialists who play a critical role in our animal care.
Please join us in thanking our Night and Float Animal Care Specialists for everything they do!
Beat the heat and the crowds! Join us tomorrow, July 25 for Summer Adult Night. This adults-only evening includes live music, silent disco, carousel karaoke, animal demos, trivia, lawn games, and exclusive food and drinks. Enjoy one complimentary beverage from one of our themed lounges! 🦒

Today for #NationalZookeeperWeek we`re celebrating the hard work and accomplishments of our Primate & Australasia Team! This incredibly hardworking crew of 24 Animal Care Specialists care for over 80 animals, representing 34 different species of primates, small carnivores, marsupials, birds, and reptiles. Every single day, this amazing team of caregivers provides the very best care to animals in the Primate and Australasia areas. This includes everything from preparing diets and monitoring health to creating enrichment, training animals to participate in their own health care and providing animals with an environment where they can truly thrive! This team has made huge strides in animal care, reproduction and welfare.
Thank you for your hard work and dedication to all the animals that call Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance home!
