For those that are afraid to go into the reptile house, our education Zoo Crew will bring a few cools things outside for you to see

The Education Section’s main purpose is to help enrich the experience for our zoo guests. We have a number of tasks from observing the behavior of the animals to engaging the visitors in keeper chat evaluations. We also educate the public with interactive touch carts. With these carts, we hold various animal artifacts that compliment the exhibits in the zoo. It is a very exciting place to be because we have a big part in making the guests experience more enjoyable.

Unfortunately this incident was not captured on film, but how could anything that hangs out with this guy cause that much trouble? You may be surprised. Don't let that cute face fool you. They only play innocent on TV.

We had a blast hanging out together and stayed really cool in the hot Houston sun. Our volunteer work today in the Children’s Zoo was giving the Sheep Beau a bath and man, we got more of a bath than he did, but we had a good time trying.

A Zoo Crew volunteer shows off some cool biofacts in the aquarium. There's not many people who can say they've touched a starfish and blowfish before.

Being part of the zoo sure is different from camp. I get to do biofact carts and keeper chat surveys. The people are a lot of fun to be around and are very interesting. Being here and helping to educate people is a great opportunity for me.
