Life isn't easy for two zookeepers running a large private zoo in the middle of nowhere. With almost no help at all, Bud DeYoung and Carrie Cramer care for over 400 permanent residents, all while rescuing exotic animals from around the globe, rehabilitating local wildlife and running a struggling small business. This is the real life of Bud and Carrie.
