The Lehigh Valley Zoo is in need of volunteers.
If you are inclined to answer the call of the wild, the zoo could use your help.
There are many terrific and exotic animals at the zoo and Manly Offutt, a docent at the zoo, talked about some of the fun volunteers could experience.
He said in the summer, kids run around in circles at the zoo and swim with otters.
Another interesting fact he said, is that Otters do not hibernate. They have to be out in the cold hunting.
Manly's job is to explain anything and everything happening at the zoo.
Richard Rosevear, general curator at the zoo said there are various tasks that volunteers can perform, even if they happen not to like working directly with the animals.
He said volunteers can help with education or with guest services.
The only requirement officials say, is to be dependable.
This time of year though, animals are taking a back seat to elaborate illumination.
From now through Christmas the Zoo is showcasing its first ever winter lights spectacular.
There are over 600 hundred thousand lights in the park, zoo officials said.
Applications to volunteer can be filled out at the Zoo's website.
