Gorilla Keeper!

In this episode, I interview former Great Ape Keeper, Rachel Hale. Rachel (who currently works with cheetahs) took care of gorillas and chimpanzees for years! She gives insight on what it was like working with these magnificent animals on the daily. This is a GREAT behind-the-scenes interview for anyone interested in what it’s like caring for a gorilla or a chimpanzee! Or anyone interested in working at a zoo!
