Many zoos and aquariums in the Northeast remain closed today due to Winter Storm Juno, but zookeepers are working around the clock behind the scenes to help ensure the safety of their animals.
Some zookeepers are even camping out in unusual locations in order to remain on site.
For example, at Franklin Park Zoo, in Boston, a city strongly impacted by Juno, a handful of zookeepers slept on cots overnight and have been staying in the zoo’s education center. Assistant Curator Jeannine Jackle, who works with the zoo’s “tropical forest” themed animals, told NBC News that she has stocked up on food, water, and flashlight batteries.
