The Zookeeper
My name's Mark Porter. I've been interested in the natural world since I was very young. I
used to keep insects, and I spent a lot of time drawing them. After I finished school, I went to
work in a pet shop - that was great fun, but I knew I had to go to college if I wanted a better
job. So I went to university to study Biology and then got a job in Florida working at a sea-life
centre, looking after the dolphins.
While I was working there, I saw an advertisement for my current job - a keeper for the fish
department at a zoo in California - and applied. Although it was for the same money, I was
pleased when they immediately offered me the job because there are lots of different
activities I'm involved in here. As part of my job, I get to do research, and I manage an
education centre where I tell people of all ages about what they can do to protect fish and
animals.
People think that my job is exciting because I go diving as part of my research work on
sharks. However, I work long hours, and I worry if I have to call a medical specialist to come
and look after a sick fish. Conditions at work can be uncomfortable too, as a lot of the fish I
look after bite, so I have to be careful. Then there are the visitors. Some are OK, but some
try to touch the fish or put sweet wrappers in the water - that makes me angry. However, my
job is very rewarding, and I hope that you'll think about working with animals, too.
