The past two weeks I have been mostly spending my time at Paignton Zoo gaining more experience in husbandry and enrichment of more species, ready for my arrival at Tasikoki Wildlife Rescue in three weeks! Work experience at Paignton Zoo was to focus on their Primates (including Sulawesi Crested Macaques (Macaca nigra)), Hoof-stock (including Anoa (Bubalus depressicornis), a Sulawesi local), and Reptiles (very prolific in that part of the world).
It was a great two weeks, I got to meet many new people and listen to their opinions and experiences. I got to see many things whilst I was there, including being one of the first two people to see the new baby King Colobus (Colobus polykomos) which was great.
It was another great experience, and now I can’t wait to get to Tasikoki. 22 days and counting!
Ta ta!
