ZooTampa at Lowry Park is currently seeking enthusiastic and motivated individuals interested in learning about the Animal Care field.  

Description: While working in the Florida Mammals area, the majority of time will be spent at the Manatee Critical Care Center learning all aspects of rehabilitation, behavioral observations, record keeping and husbandry of injured manatees.  This program does not involve marine mammal training; it is strictly rehabilitation and release of the wild manatee.  Interns must be comfortable around water and have the ability to swim.  Interns will also have the opportunity to learn about our diverse species of Florida Native Wildlife while assisting keepers with daily husbandry, observing training sessions and participating in public talks.
