Roosevelt Park Zoo’s African zookeeper Taylor Jundt got her start at the zoo in Minot as a ZooTeen when she was a seventh-grader.
ZooTeen is a multifaceted volunteer program that allows teens to fit their wish to assist at the zoo during the summer months and can extend into yearround. The program began in the 1980s.
As the African zookeeper Jundt, of Minot, takes care of the giraffes, zebras, African lions, bongo, warthogs and others in that area of the zoo.
