how did he get that honor?! Awesome!

he's a Zooteen (volunteer) at the Oregon zoo.

I wish I could have been a Zooteen when I was a teen!!

wow, lucky kid! I love elephants. Many lead sad lives, tho

How cool is that? Sure wish I could see that and let my kids experience it as well

the Oregon Zoo is wonderful. They rehab or take care of hurt animals and the environment is very natural.

both my sons have been Zooteens. It's been really good for them.
