“ The Bramble Park Zoo has been a major attraction in Watertown since 1912, and moved into our current location in 1940,” said Olivia Wulff , zookeeper and registrar. Resting upon 15 acres, the expansive zoo offers a “come closer” experience to a wide variety of species of exotic animals, from kangaroos and otters, to lemurs and a tiger, and many critters in between. “The Bramble Park Zoo is passionate about educating the public on the importance of natural and exotic wildlife that call the zoo home, and their wild counterparts,” explained Wulff.
Wulff carries a multitude of roles under her belt.
Her position as a zookeeper involves providing primary care to kangaroos, wolves, and coyotes, while her duties as registrar involve recording notes, observations, and medical records. Wulff works alongside Bramble Park’s consulting veterinarian, Dr. Andrea Hennen , to aid in caring for sick or injured animals. “I love the variety and complexity of my job,” expressed Wulff. “I’m truly living the dream every day that I get to care for these amazing creatures.”
