Interview an Expert
The Saint Louis Zoo is happy to provide 20-minute virtual expert interviews to students or groups who are learning about specific animals or Zoo-related topics. Led by educators who work closely with our colleagues in Animal Division, they are able to answer your questions about animals in our care, conservation work we are doing at the Zoo and around the world, and the Zoo's dedication to caring for all animals.
Once payment has been received ($25 per 2o-minute interview, payable by credit card), the Zoo will provide a unique-to-you Zoom link for access to your interview. We do require a minimum of two week's booking notice for virtual programs. See list of topics below and complete our inquiry form.
Any interview requests that are intended to be used for publication/media should be directed to pr@stlzoo.org.
