A four year degree in Zoology, Biology, or related field should suffice. I would recommend getting a job before you consider pursuing a Masters. Talk with the personnel department, or administration at the zoo your interested in long term employment with, often times a zoo may consider a Masters degree "over qualified" for the zookeeper position only. A "PHD" is definitely too much. I know some past professors of mine who had looked into Zookeeping and other such work in a zoo and were turned away for having too much education. Start with a four-year program and do your research as you learn, you may find that is all you need, or your goals might change. Keep all your options open and see where that takes you!
A job in the field of zoologywill require at least a Bachelor of Science in biology or a related field like wildlife biology or zoology. A Bachelor's degree takes about 130 credit hours, or 4-5 years of school at a university or college. With a Bachelor's degree, you can get a job as a field or lab technician, where you'll be responsible for anything from animal care to habitat management to data collection. If you want to conduct your own research, you'll need to have at least a Master of Science degree or a Ph.D. in biology or a related science. With these graduate degrees, you'll carry out or conduct your own research. You'll be responsible for leading others who are helping with the research, and responsible for analyzing, interpreting, and writing reports about the collected research data. A Master's degree takes 2-3 years of additional schooling, and a written thesis. A Ph.D. requires 4-6 addtional years of schooling, including a written dissertation.
Almost any biology related degree can land you a job in a zoo. Some of the most highly qualified of these would be either a veterinary, biology or a zoologydegree. Essentially, you need to make sure you have at least a 2 year degree in a biological field (preferably 4 years) and must have directly related work experience. You can get work experience by becoming an intern, volunteering or getting a part time job at an institution that has hands-on work available with wildlife, or animals that would be normally cared for in a zoo.

Zookeepers typically have to have at least an associates degree (2 yr) in biological science, animal science, zoology, or related major. Preferred is a bachelor's (4 yr) in the same majors. Experience can be substituted for education, but it can be very hard to get experience. Also zookeepers are highly smart and need serious training!
