"I have done a great deal of research on different zoo facilities. I hoped to find a facility that works with different types of wild cats. When I came across your facility, I was shocked at the number of wild cats that you care for, and I was very excited to see that you were hiring a Zoologist. I could not pass up the opportunity to apply because it seems like the perfect fit."
