National Zoo Keeper Week – TWP Trouble Maker’s Cove Team

Happy National Zoo Keeper’s Week!

Our keepers are the heart of what we do here at Tanganyika. They work extremely hard every day to ensure that our animals receive top-notch care. We would definitely not be where we are today without their commitment, love, and passion for our animals. The bonds that our keepers and animals have formed is truly remarkable to see. We consistently have visitors who mention how well-cared for and happy our animals look and that is due to our amazing keepers team.

Thank you, keepers. It takes a special person to do what you do. We appreciate you all more than we can express in one week!

Our Trouble Maker’s Cover team works with the animals located in our Trouble Maker’s Cove area, which includes: penguins, two-toed sloths, otters, albino alligator, armadillos and more.

Here’s a quick look into our awesome Trouble Maker’s Cove team…
