Pints Paid by Ponds
At a major UK zoo, this resourceful zookeeper found an unexpected perk while maintaining the pristine condition of the animal enclosures. Tasked with cleaning the ponds inside a building every four weeks, they stumbled upon a shimmering bonus: coins tossed into the water by wishful children.

This brew-fueled benefit highlights a little-known side of zookeeping, where wishes made by visitors inadvertently toast the health of those caring for the creatures.
