As a zoologist, are there any animals you are not willing or able to work with?

If there are any animals that you are uncomfortable working with or prefer not to work with, discuss that with the interviewer. Talk about your reasons for not wanting to work with those particular animals, and be honest if the requirement to work with those animals would be a deal-breaker for you.

"There are not many animals that I am not comfortable working with. I started working with animals at a young age, and I am familiar and patient with most animals. If I am ever required to work with an animal that I have not worked with in the past, I do my research on how to best gain that animal's trust and properly care for the animal."
