���� Working at the Zoo: A Clinical Nutritionist
What do penguins, giraffes, and sea lions eat for lunch?
Meet Jabari, a clinical nutritionist at the zoo! His job is to make sure every animal gets the right nutrients to grow, stay healthy, and thrive.
Each day, Jabari studies animal diets, researches scientific data, measures ingredients, and adjusts meal plans based on what animals like-and what their bodies need. From protein and vitamins to fresh fruits and leafy greens, every bite matters!
Through engaging storytelling and colorful illustrations, readers will discover:
- How math and science are used to create animal diets
- Why nutrients can be helpful - and sometimes harmful - if not balanced
- How research, observation, and problem-solving are part of everyday zoo work
- The important role clinical nutritionists play in animal health
Perfect for ages 7-10, this inspiring STEAM career story shows young readers that caring for animals takes more than love - it takes knowledge, curiosity, and teamwork.
