Vico Henriques

Vico-Henriques

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month. Each day we will put one of our valued volunteers in the spotlight as a way of saying thank you!

Vico Henriques is a volunteer Keeper Aide in the primate unit at the National Zoo.  Here he is weighing out food for primate meals, but he also assists the Animal Care staff in cleaning enclosures, preparing enrichment items and much more.  (Photo courtesy of Helen Moore)
