      Good question! A florist is one who produces and trades in flowers while a zoo keeper is one who takes care of the wild life or animals in the zoo. Now to be a florist, you would need to study floristry or botany to have a better understanding of plants. To be a zoo keeper, you would need to study zoology or be a veterinarian so that you can have a proper knowledge of how the elephants are kept, handled and cared for. That could also help the zoo keeper have a first-hand knowledge of any signs of illness if elephants are ill.
