Answer 6

Well, firstly, you must love animals, two, you must have some sort of traing with them?, and 3, you must be known for your kindness, respect, and for being careful. Zoos do not like people who aren't careful, they don't like to be responsible for somebodies death. What field do you want to work at?

Answer 7

Biology, Zoology, and Vet

Answer 8

Many schools may not have a zoology major at the undergrad level but a general biology major will prepare you for graduate studies.  Organismal biology would be a good emphasis.  Most colleges and universities in the US will provide a rather broad introduction to the wide field of biology, so you'll take a fair amount of genetics, cell biology, ecology, evolution, etc. in addition to anatomy and physiology, animal behavior and more zoology-specific courses.  You will also most likely need a year each of general and organic chemistry, one or more quarters each of physics and calculus and possibly statistics.
