-: My name is a Cara Johnson.
I am a zookeeper at the Central Florida Zoo
and Botanical Gardens.
Education is a huge part
because where else are a lot of these visitors
going to see a giraffe or, you know,
a spot-nosed guenon.
So I think a lot of the times,
it's us trying to convey our passions to the visitors.
That, yeah, a crested porcupine is an amazing animal
and deserves our attention and care
especially with all the habitat destruction
and all the animals going endangered
and extinct in the wild.
It's really our role to educate people
on why they're important
and why we should work really hard to keep them around.
