TYLER, Texas There are many workers who often go unnoticed in their jobs. But this week is all about one elephant-sized job: zookeepers.
This week is National Zookeeper Awareness Week, and CBS19 decided to cover how these keepers make sure the zoo s animals are safe, entertained, and well-taken care of.
Zookeeping is more than just feeding animals. They re taking care of animals in any kind of temperature whether that s sweltering hot or freezing cold. But one of the most important part of their jobs is working to conserving endangered species.
