Hi all - Special hi to room 1
I have had an interesting start to my time at the zoo. All the teachers will be happy to know I picked up my first poop today (using a shovel!). It was kunekune, wallaby, kangaroo and giraffe.
Also today I did or helped - find an emu egg, got threatened by some grumpy geese, watched some pigs and antelope get trained (pigs for contact walks, antelope for being moved and medical) as well as general feeding and cleaning. I was on my first section with the herbivores team. Giraffes are very curious and kept coming to check me out while I was cleaning their enclosure ( that's a special mention for Mrs Campbell).
Before today I have had lots of meetings, learning new faces and finding my way around (especially the keeper areas).
I have watched quite a few lessons and learned some new things. I have asked LOTS of questions. I have met many cool and unusual animals - been licked by dingos, stroked a legless lizard (amazingly odd) and was lucky enough to hand feed the red pandas. They have very sharp claws but are very gentle.
Hope you have had a great start to the term, enjoy swimming.
Mr Haste
