Sloth or armadillo keepers

I just started a new internship in a department with over 100 animals and don’t have a ton of knowledge on certain ones. Right now I’m focused on sloths, armadillos, tortoises, and owls. I would appreciate any good resources I can look at to learn more about these animals. I’m also not the most creative, so drop your enrichment ideas below!

This is probably a dumb question, but how do you become experts in the care of your animals? Was it through schooling? Learning through experience? Self-teaching? Or all of the above?

I’m about halfway through college and working towards becoming a zookeeper. I’m realizing I that I know nothing about how to care for the animals I want to work with. Should I start researching now or will I learn it on the job?
