How dangerous is your job?

Daniel Simmonds (Zookeeper) gives expert video advice on: What did you have to do to become a zookeeper?; Is it a well paid job?; Do you become very attached to the animals you work with? and more...

Being a zookeeper is potentially a very, very dangerous job. If one was to make a mistake, or if generally any zookeeper was to make a mistake with an animal, for example letting a wild animal out into close proximity with the zookeeper, it would be possible and there would be a chance of being killed. But we have extremely high levels of health and safety as zookeepers for obvious reasons, so subsequently there are no problems in that nature.
