Welcome

Hi everyone, and welcome to my blog - "Tails" of a Zoo Intern! My name is Megan and I am a current junior at Clemson University in South Carolina. I was fortunate enough to be chosen as the Greenville Zoo's Animal Department Intern for the Fall of 2014, and I decided that I wanted to share my experience with all of you.

For those of you who know me, you may be familiar with my other blog Megan's Disney Dream (shameless self-promotion, I know). I loved my blogging experience during my Disney College Program last semester so I am continuing the blogging trend and writing a blog for my animal department internship this semester! I'm doing this for two reasons: 1 - I am a person who loves to do research, and I had such a hard time finding zoo intern blogs online, so I'm hoping to spread the word about zoo internships through this blog, and 2 - so that I can remember this incredible experience and hopefully share some stories with family and friends along the way! I'm also hoping to shed some light on zoos and all of the care and hard work that goes into operating and maintaining an AZA accredited facility.

So please, sit back, relax, and join me on this incredible journey through the life of a zoo intern. Our adventure awaits!
