Sometimes, even moms need helpers. When a mother animal can’t take care of her babies, wildlife care specialists step in to feed and nurture the youngsters.

A little TLC

At the Safari Park, the Animal Care Center specializes in providing TLC (tender loving care) for the little ones—and it’s an important job the wildlife care specialists love. Sometimes, the baby animals need frequent feedings and that means lots of bottles to be filled and then washed. Wildlife care specialists also make sure to keep track of weight, height, and other important animal care information.
