Become an animal caretaker at Natur'Zoo in Mervent

Go behind the scenes at Natur’Zoo

As soon as you arrive, the scene is set: you won’t just be a visitor. You go to the other side of the park, where it all begins. The animal care staff will welcome you and explain the rules, gestures and responsibilities. You soon realise that every action counts. Here, every animal depends on precise attention, appropriate care and a well-honed routine.

Preparing, feeding, observing

Your mission begins in a strategic place: the animals’ kitchen. You prepare the rations, measure out, cut and assemble. Nothing is left to chance. Then comes the moment you’ve been waiting for: feeding time.

You accompany the animal care staff to the different areas of the park. Servals, red pandas, monkeys, giraffes… every encounter is unique. You will observe their behaviour, their reactions and their habits. You’ll gain a better understanding of their needs… and their personalities.

Between action and learning

As the day progresses, one task follows another. Cleaning the enclosures, preparing enrichments, observing the animals… You take part in everything. And that’s where the experience really comes into its own.

You’ll discover a job that’s demanding, physical, but deeply fascinating. A job where patience, care and respect for living things are essential.

An immersion experience to suit you

Whether you’re a child, teenager or adult, the adventure is tailored to you.

• Younger children will experience their first immersion in a fun and supervised way.
• Adults immerse themselves in a full, intense and realistic day.
• Families share a rare moment of discovery and complicity.

Whatever the formula, one thing is certain: you’ll leave with a totally different view of the animal world… and of those who look after it.
