We will be talking about rhinos in the wild and in zoos. We will be talking about the differences between species/subspecies and habitat ranges of each. As a former zookeeper, I will share some stories about some white rhinos and describe what it’s like working with such large animals. We will also focus on conservation in zoos and what is being done to save these animals from extinction and if it’s too late for the Northern White Rhino. We will highlight some of the bigger facilities in the United States and examine what is being done outside of the US.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a former zookeeper and educator for over 10 years. I have taught all grade levels, scouts, adults, homeschool and other special interest groups. I currently teach mostly bug-based classes as Kim’s Critter Classes for homeschool and scout groups.
My classes are discussion based where the students lead the learning within the topic of the class. I include both biofacts and live animals and insects in my classes and try to incorporate a craft or game with every lesson.
I have hand-raised kangaroos, binturongs, aardvarks and other animals that are in zoos across the country. I have also presented animals on tour with Jack Hanna.
Please message me to schedule a class as I have returned to full time work.
