Kolton Babic, from Puyallup, WA, graduated from Oregon State University in March 2025 with a B.S. in Fisheries, Wildlife, and Conservation Sciences. He has previously interned at a local zoo that specializes in animals native to the Pacific Northwest. There he got the chance to work with bears, wolves, cougars, bobcats, bison, elk, beaver, porcupines, a variety of different birds of prey, and even invertebrates as small as a banana slug! He looks forward to getting more in depth and a hands-on experience with native wildlife.
