Name of career where you raise orphaned wild animals?
I love animals, so when I’m older I want to help raise wild animals who’ve lost their mothers, then release them into the wild when they’re old enough. What do you call that career?
Animals that are raised by humans to be released back into the wild are only allowed to have MINIMAL interaction with humans..you would not be able to handle, hold, or touch it much at all. These animals CANNOT be acclaimated to humans in ANY way if they are expected to survive in the wild. If you are seeing shows on TV where people get to play with baby animals all day..these are not really real jobs. These are special cases, and very few people in the world make a living this way. You can work as a zookeeper and work in a zoo nursery where you would care for baby animals until they are big enough to live in their own zoo enclosure. Even these jobs are rare as everyone wants to work in the zoos nursery. Many keepers work years in a zoo before they are placed in the nursery. Also, most zoos require you to have a degree in zoology to work there. Some do have volunteer programs to work you way up to a paid position.
