An April Day
Hmmm... I don't have a plan for today's post. The main thing I remember from the zoo yesterday is coming home really tired. I think it's because I've been staying up late ever since daylight savings time started.
Let's see, I got to tell the keepers that I met the students who broke into the zoo for Valentine's Day! Did I write about that on here? Two students boated across Nelson Lake and broke into the zoo at night. Then they had a picnic on the bridge over the giraffe exhibit. Then the guy climbed over the fence and got into the exhibit with Asha and Punk! And they took pictures of everything, and put it on their blogs, and the zoo manager found the blog on a google search! So, they're in big trouble. Don't break into the zoo!
We loaded up the truck with food and went to the zebra barn. There were four pigeons trapped in there so we called the Bird Boys. Diane (the bird-catching ninja) has Saturdays off now so Ryan and Travis work the bird areas. Ryan came by and Denise and I helped him catch all the birds. One was very sneaky! Ryan kept catching it, but it kept escaping! Finally, Ryan pinned the bird down with the net handle and grabbed it with his hand! It was crazy. Ryan and Denise talked for a while about who they would feed these pigeons to, and they decided it was Albert the Alligator's turn. Ryan didn't want to pop their heads off, so he drove away with the birds. Maybe Travis or Albert killed them.
Rosa, the lemur that was in the clinic, died on Friday. Denise was really sad about it. She said they did a nutopsy (an autopsy, but for an animal) and her kidneys were really bad, and her heart was also bad. That's sad, Rosa was a sweet lemur.
Jack the mean, but beautiful zebra is getting shipped out at the end of this month. He doesn't get along with the other zebras. So, if you want to see his striking coat and his beautiful black and white stripes, you need to go to the zoo soon! Some zebras stripes aren't clear, or they're a little brown, but Jacks are super! He's a meany and I'm scared of him, so I guess it's OK that he's moving.
My favorite part was cutting some fresh spring boughs off the trees in the back and feeding them to the giraffes. We took them up on the bridge and held them over the fence while the giraffes used their tongues to strip the leaves off the branches and almost yank our arms off! They pull really hard!
It's great to go work outside with wild animals/their poop. :-)

What a couple of idiots! Real smart putting up pictures of the crime you committed. Do you work all day on Saturdays or just a few hours?
