Jo Kanter
With a lifetime of experience caring for and working with animals, I can say without hesitation that it's been a privilege. From growing up with cats, dogs, and cows, to tending to lions, tigers, and bears, my passion for animals has never wavered.
During my time at UNL, I cared for "Ben" the Kodiak Bear from "The Grizzly Adams" Series, as well as alligators and large parrots at The Folsom Children's Zoo. I volunteer at "Pride Rock" and "In-Sync" exotic wildlife rescues. One of the greatest joys of my career has been bottle-feeding and caring for lions and tigers.
From Nebraska to Texas, I've worked at various vet clinics, a zoo, and wildlife rescues. I am grateful to pursue my passion and make a difference in the lives of animals every day.
