There are a few average working days because something usually comes up and changes the process, however the day begins with the fence round, then preparation of medications, visual inspection, observation and the feeding of the bears. Cleaning the enclosures, animal training and enrichment are part of each working day, as well as writing logs, administrative tasks etc. Then once a month the cleaning of the ponds. Maintaining the facilities, such as the feeding area where the food is getting prepared. In the afternoon again giving medication, cleaning bear houses and checking fences.

The development of the bears from the beginning of their arrival.

Generally working with the bears. The bear transports that I was able to join. My stay in Jordan in Al Ma'wa for Nature and Wildlife.

You should always be highly concentrated because you are working with very dangerous animals. You shouldn't have to work under pressure and you should have enough time for it. Distractions should be avoided, especially when working closely with the animals.

I worked with animals at various institutions as a zoo keeper (zoo, animal shelter, university, animal park).

Hiding the food in the enclosure, animal training, keeping the bears busy (with enrichment).

I love all bears. But there are bears with whom you have a closer relationship. For me it's Balou, Otto, Tapsi, Bruno and Susi.

My dog, animal training, reading, hiking, I am a voluntary wolf ambassador and manage the LAG MV (Mecklenburg Western Pomerania) and I am the contact person for MV at the GzSdW (Society for the Protection of Wolves). Working with the AG (Working group) Wolves in captivity.
