Wild life Animal foster parent?
I was wondering how to become one and what i need to take in college. Do they get paid too? I know that they raise wild animals like tigers and stuff at their home until they are old enough to get released into the wild. So i need some advice and some help on it. I would appreciate it^_^

Become a veterinarian, take zoology courses, biology courses, take animal behavior courses, etc. It would also be helpful to study animals and their different characteristics and behaviors on your own.
You need to be quite qualified to work professionally with wild predators. A good start would be to volunteer at a local zoo (if there is one near by). It WILL NOT be glamorous, but it will help you get to know staff at the zoo, and after a number of years, they may let you work with some of the animals. This would provide valuable experience, which would be an asset in finding a career in this field.

You mean a rehabilitation. Well you need to be a zoologist or become experienced with it by doing it yourself like the people who rehabilitated Elsa the lioness.
