We are so thankful for the support of our Zoological Society board & members year-round. We are especially thankful the third week of July when they shower the Animal Care staff with appreciation. It’s like Christmas in July! Just when Animal Care needs a boost most to finish out the summer. Thank you Frank Buck Zoological Society board, we appreciate you!

“Every day is a chance to build trust with our animal family through thoughtful enrichment and by providing care in an environment that encourages their natural behaviors. Of course, one of the best parts of the job is helping guests connect with nature through our animal encounters and education.”

Hi, I’m Ashlynn and I’m part of the Animal Care team here at the Frank Buck Zoo! I work in the Carnivore and South America sections where I have the opportunity to care for an incredible variety of animals ranging from playful otters and curious capybaras to majestic flamingos and the endlessly fascinating American black bears.
