Hello!

Most Zoo keeper jobs are looking for you to have at least a bachelor's degree in zoology, biology, or something related.

There are some animal care and nutrition jobs that only require a high school diploma.

Check out https://www.aza.org/jobs and you can see what most keeper jobs are looking for with education.

Most importantly they want to see you have experience. Look for a part-time job, volunteer opportunities or internship to help build your experience.

I hope this helps!
