Keeper Cross over

Had a few interesting things on November 16, 2010. Not only did I work with my interns but I had one of the cheetah keepers, Phil, working with me as well. What was really interesting is that I was a Cheetah intern under Phil, who is the lead Cheetah keeper, but today I was in charge of him in Carnivores. I felt a bit weird about this but it went pretty well. At 10:30am we went to the theatre to watch Benji (the vet) give a presentation on Fossil Rim Wildlife Center's cheetah program, whcih he was able to see when he went to Texas for a conference. It was really interesting to see the set up at another facility. Me and Phil also got the chance today to look at some designs for a hammock made out of old firehose. I am looking into building one for the lions and Phil has some experience building them. He very nicely offered to help me building mine. Hopefully this will be able to be a bit of a project to accomplish this winter. So nothing else major to report from today but I do want to share this super cute picture of Tkoda muching on his dinner :) We hid it in the big tire and put a bunch of logs on top.
