Holy crap, dude. I always wondered what they did if an animal died at a zoo.

I have a friend who works at a zoo and he loves it there.

Nice pics. I'll be checking these out for a while.

On the plus side, the swelling in my hand is down quite a bit

I don't know what you're talking about. You'll have to give me a few weeks to go through this post and look at all the pictures. That must have taken you weeks to prepare for this post!

Actually I just kind of went through my random pics that I've taken at the zoo over the last 10 days and picked out some of the more interesting ones (or so I thought) and augmented them with some older ones.

I hope you enjoy :p

Thanks for sharing what you do, very interesting, I enjoyed reading your post, yes I did read it. :) I've always wanted to work at a zoo, and do what I can to help.

Ha I KNEW it was Milwaukee Zoo ("ZOO" looked familiar on your shirt before I read the post). Totally underrated zoo imo. I used to live in Milwaukee back when I was in HS, and visited the zoo many many many times. (at least once a week w/ pass in the summer). The geese sure crap up the shore on Lake Evinrude. How's the cats program going? Seems like there was a new litter of snow leopards every year.

I also work in animal care. Aquarium, in my case (but we also have mammals, birds and herps). I had looked into working at the new Discovery World on the pier in downtown Brewtown, but that kinda fell through.

The cats have their new building now and it looks pretty darn good now. I still wish they had more space, but they have a lot more room than they used to. I think they're down to one snow leopard now unless they're hiding one in the back somewhere.

We have to go into the Snow Leopard exhibit every once in a while to water the grasses :(. The zookeepers were supposed to do all the inside work for the exhibits, so it's quite annoying when we have to try to coordinate with them on when we can go inside.

How do you like the Aquarium job?

I dunno... I kind of want to do it. That would be quite the story to tell.

I'll keep my eyes peeled for anything interesting and update. My last day at the zoo is 10 days from now though... and I don't know if I'm going to be back next summer. This might be the end of my zoo career :p
