There is a zoo about 30 min from me called the Richmond Metro Zoo. Its a small zoo but it holds some pretty interesting animals including Lemurs (there was a baby!), Lions, Camels, Zebra, Penguins, all sorts of Monkey, and Snakes. I asked a woman feeding the penguins how you would go about getting a job there (they don't do volunteer work) and she said you had to put in a resume and have experience with the types of animals they had at the zoo.

Well, pray tell me, how do you get experience with animals like those in a place other than a zoo? Its not like you can go down to your local shelter and get experience with Rhinos. I want to get experience with small primates and such because I'd like to work with the Lemurs and Tamarins. How would I get experience with those animals if that zoo is the only place in the area to find them.
