Not only do the positions mentioned above exist, but if you are really devoted to animals, there is always vet school, and the top vets in the country make as much as some of the top doctors (think of the vets that are taking care of Barbaro the race horse right now).

Also, if you continue studying animal sciences or ecology in grad school, you would be very desirable to the top zoos and natural history museums in the country, AND in Washington D.C. there are dozens of environmental advocacy groups that are in need of people knowledgeable of animals and the environment as well as politics.

I intend to major in ecology and evolutionary biology at Princeton, and I’m hoping to either go to vet school/grad school or land a position at the Wildlife Conservation Society (NYC) the Smithsonian, or a major zoo as an research intern. I would have to say zoology offers some of the most fulfilling and active careers out there, many of them involving traveling overseas.
