Homerun, but never in an enclosure. I didn't have time to disinfect the area beforehand.Being a night keeper occasionally has it's privileges.Never worked with platypus, but they are weird. I don't trust venomous mammals.
a friend of mine had a donkey as the ring bearer at her wedding. it was pretty weird\funny. He had a little bow tie.
He must have been a blast at the bachelor party.
I know a gal who used to work at the San Francisco zoo in the 90's...She was cute, but married. They lived in Palo Alto.
The elephants have it rough. I don't thin that most zoos have the area required to care for an elephant honestly. they need TONS of room. I wish our zoo would get rid of elephants. Places like the Wild Animal park in San Diego have the space to care for them, but lots of places don'tMost zoos still use archaic methods of training for elephants as well. if a bullhook is part of your training program, you are doing it wrong. It's just sad
oof. that is not a fun commute.
which animal would be the best to watch being fed?and are polar bears super badass or what?does your zoo have a webcam, and could you do a flyby on it throwing up some gang sign for us?
Is this thread about to go from great to legendary?
Which is exactly why I dislike zoos. No offense intended. I can't afford a trip to go on safari, but with nice cameras and hi definition televisions, I'd rather see an actual cheetah hunt on TV then see one laying around in a pen. I'll probably never see a live cheetah in person, unless it's at a zoo. At that point, I'd rather pass.This is a good thread, thanks for taking the time.

Does no one watch nature shows? I'd pay to see this (cheaper than going to Africa).
our you shure your firend wasn't at the Cheetah Club and it was a grrl in a cutout leopardtard who grabbed his face with somthing that dindt have teethes?DW
Not sure why, but this produced my biggest laugh of the day.
depends on what you are into. It's always cool to see a Lion rip apart a big hunk of meat. Polar bears are super badass. They say they enjoy the taste of human flesh. Of course I'm not sure how you would actually test that theory legally.
Polar Bears live at the North Pole and penguins live at the South Pole. Come on guy.
So I take that for a no.
What happened with the Harris Hawk after you left Disney to go back to the West Coast?
unlikely about the leopard bite. I would question the integrity of your friend's story.zoo for dogs would be the pound. Some zoos use dogs as companion animals though. The cheetah at the San Diego zoo's education show lives with a golden retriever.I've never been to Ireland so your friend must be mistaken. Maybe she lost her mind after that leopard bite.
It would seem they have no prior feuds, so why not? Is it like West coast vs. East coast rap?
wow, that's strange!
yes!i wish i was at home, my 6 year old would prolly have a sweet question i would never think of
none taken, zoos aren't for everyone.
Become a certified scuba diver and you can swim with them in the wild pretty easily. I've done a lot of diving in Monterey, CA. They are very inquisitive and unlikely to try to eat you or have teh sex.One of my favorite diving memories is doing a night dive at monastery beach in Monterey. we ran into a group of sea lions and they would use our dive lights to help them hunt. Shine your light on a fish and the next thing you know a sea lion zooms into view to grab the fish.pretty fun for me, probably not as much for the fish.
Unfortunately they closed that particular show. I believe he was moved to the Memphis Zoo.

Maybe polar bears wouldn't like the taste of penguins and they could work it out? I don't know. Since all the ice caps in the north pole are melting we should ship a few to the south pole to see what happens.couldn't be worse than what happened to this poor polar bear
you're welcome, glad you enjoyed it. I've had a good time doing it.
ask him later and report back.
Just don't yank it back and go "nah nah".
I've only been bitten once, by a raccoon. It was my fault so I wasn't mad, but it hurt like hell and required stitches on my thumb. Since most keepers are required to get rabies vaccinated, it was a non issue otherwise.I haven't personally known anyone that has been killed or maimed, but I know a lot of the stories.
