Animal Educator/Tour Guide at Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center, Divide CO. Accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. I might be missing something but I think neither CWWC nor AZA is a government entity.
The screenshot skips the perks which include a vest when promoted. They claim you can also do a bunch of related training/school at no cost to you but I feel like those benefits are usually hard to get and/or balance while still being a useful asset. But of course listed perks include multiple types of experience.
As with many animal-related jobs, the low pay probably manages to automatically filter down applicants to only compassionate people that just want to help the little floofs. It’s a step above volunteer (of which many are present anyway).

Ya, the posting is like this because they will still get tons of extremely qualified applicants. There are tons of IT, office, construction, whatever jobs, but there are not many “Work with or around wolves” jobs. They will probably get people with Masters degrees applying for this, maybe Ph.D. I applied for an animal control position and that was the case there.
Working with exotic animals at a sanctuary is basically a labor of love. It’s a shitty industry to make a living in, but these kinds of places usually run on fumes.
Still, the training fee, walkie deposit, and not supplying the tour vehicle are pretty sus.

Definitely intentionally deceiving by OP.
