It's obviously a ton of work.

“I manage 2 collections, one is the largest collection of Australian animals in the world at a park called Featherdale in Sydney, and the second is a collection of endangered species from all over the world about 4 hours south of Sydney called Mogo,” Chad said.

Chad truly loves what he does so he doesn't consider his responsibilities a job. He is so passionate that to him, it's just pure joy.

“There is no typical day when you work with animals, my whole day, week, month, year, life is making sure they have everything they need.”

A year ago, IMogo Wildlife Park was confronted by serious danger after bushfires ravaged Australia.

However, Chad still managed to successfully defend the zoo despite the, as described by the man himself, “apocalyptic” conditions. They put a defense plan into place in addition to Chad taking several smaller animals, including monkeys and red pandas, to his own house. Every animal survived thanks to Chad and his team's efforts.

Chad said while praising his team’s efforts:

“The smaller animals we caught and took inside. The larger, dangerous animals – big cats, gorillas – we put them into their night houses so we could protect them there.”

This is just the tip of the iceberg, this man will go to great lengths to see to the animals' well-being.

“I believe zoos and wildlife parks are the most amazing places where animals and people have real opportunities to interact and make connections and I’m so thankful to be part of that,” Chad concluded.
