Zookeeper

From SpongeBob Wiki
Character

The zookeeper is the manager of the Bikini Bottom Zoo. He appears in the episodes "Who R Zoo?" and "Sheldon SquarePants."

Description

He is a buff, overweight violet fish with tan yellow eyes, a light green dorsal fin, a black mustache, and dark purple lips. He wears an ivory white Safari hat with a light brown stripe, a darker ivory white worker's uniform with a dark green tie and golden police badge to the right, brown pants with a black belt and golden buckle, white socks, and dark brown boots.

Personality

The zookeeper takes his job very seriously, as he has no tolerance for funny business and is not afraid to exhibit his strict side should someone violate the zoo policy. However, he is also shown to have a nice side, as he patches things up with SpongeBob at the end as his zoo bubble animals get along with the actual zoo animals.

Role in series

"Who R Zoo?"

He kicks SpongeBob and Patrick out of the zoo at the beginning, due to them causing disruption.

As the zoo animals break out of their cage, they trample the zookeeper, which is ironically considered punishment for banning SpongeBob in the first place.

He appears one last time at the end of the episode, as he gets on better terms with SpongeBob after the latter conveniently incorporates his Bubble Zoo animals into the regular zoo.

"Sheldon SquarePants"

He can be seen standing outside of the zoo as SpongeBob and Plankton enter.
