Kendall Duncan, a zoo keeper for Anheuser-Busch Entertainment Corp., gives 
Samburu, a 5-year-old serval, a hug. Part of Duncan’s job was to educate park 
guests about the animals. Duncan recently transferred to Discovery Cove, a 
sister park to Busch Gardens park, in Orlando.




TAMPA - Kendall Duncan's day starts early. Instead of clocking in and heading 
for a cubicle, she gets to work with animals.
While the worst thing that can happen to many employees is a paper cut, 
Duncan has faced greater risks working with serval cats, rhinos and African lions. 
Duncan worked at Busch Gardens for 8-1/2 years as a zoo keeper, and recently 
transferred to Discovery Cove in Orlando to be a senior trainer of dolphins and 
small mammals. Discovery Cove is another Anheuser-Busch Entertainment Corp. 
park.
Duncan, 30, says that working with animals has inherent risks and thrilling 
moments. But she warns that it is not as glamorous or easy as many people might 
think.
