Daniel Zibilianu
Daniel is a fifth-year veterinary student. His interest in animals peaked during an internship at the Cincinnati Zoo in the USA in 2017, where he had the opportunity to work with the park's local veterinarians – inspiring him to become a graduate veterinarian with a specialisation in exotic and wild animals. As a trainee, he worked as an assistant exotic veterinarian at the Exotic Animal Clinic in Cluj-Napoca between 2020 and 2022, and at a veterinary clinic in Budapest between 2023 and 2024. He has also worked as a volunteer veterinary assistant in several institutions (Târgu Mures Zoo, Budapest Zoo, Cluj Zoo and the Department of Exotic Animal and Wildlife Health in Budapest). Daniel's main interest is reptiles and amphibians, which he himself has kept in large numbers. He is currently conducting scientific research in the field of exotic animals in order to gain more knowledge about them and share his results with the professional community.
