Long Day

Humid and hot but it was still a great day. I accomplished a lot and managed to capture some pretty decent photos and videos.

This one is of our baby orangutan, Kasih. She is 2 and a half years old and really starting turn in to quite the "little orangutan" - swinging around in her exhibit and all around being a rambuctious kid. Denise decided to do some interaction with the orangutans and the public via the bubble machine. It was great to watch Kasih's reactions.























































No day at the zoo is ever complete without paying a visit to at least one species of lemur. Luckily today, I got to spend time with both ☺


The ringtails...





































































































and of course, my favorites, the red-ruffs ☺


And here is Biko, big papa otter.

it's really hot outside

I got my annual review last week and for being relatively new to the zookeeping field, I'd say I did pretty good.

Posting late

I was at the zoo sunday, June 30th, didn't post until now.

I need to go back and add up all my volunteer hours so that in case someone (potential employer) wants to know how many hours I have logged I can give them an accurate answer.


I helped Denise with Orangutans last Sunday. Nothing major happened it was just hot as hell again. I briefly helped Heather clean baboon/mandrill night houses.

Life has pretty much sucked ass this week, I'm starting to not care. I mean, of course I still care about the important things ya know? But as for most things - who gives a shit.
