My Favorite Job!

So I was looking through some old photos and I found pictures that I just had to post. I use to be a zookeeper. I worked at the San Diego Wild Animal Park in the Infant Isolation Unit. I had to be at work at 5:30am and I didn't even care. It didn't feel like work at all. My day consisted of bottle feeding neonatal hoofstock. I worked with gazelles, antelopes, and even a rhino. I remember the day they called and offered me that job...I couldn't believe it. I'm so glad I have pictures to remember that fun time.

Here are some of the animals...

Slender-horned Gazelle




Kenyan Impala




Southern Gerenuk




DeFassa Waterbuck

African Elephant


I helped make the birthday cake for the baby elephant that was turning 1...




...which he destroyed within seconds!


Indian Rhino
