Mulch day, part one
Dec. 3rd, 2014 05:58 pm
Twice a year all the mulch is removed from the gorilla exhibit, barrel by barrel, shovelful by shovelful. It takes almost the whole Tropical Forest staff almost the entire day.
Kiki and Azul
Nov. 2nd, 2014 10:47 am
My buddy Kikipuff brought out Azul, a hyacinth macaw, to take a look around. Unfortunately for him, one of the things he saw was me--he loathes me for some reason.
But he also got to see Kambiri, our 4 year old female gorilla.
And Kambiri's mother, who is coincidentally named Kiki also.
Pocket Mega Post

Pocket's face! (My dad and Pocket).
What follows is lots of photos, mostly of Pocket. Mostly taken with my phone, in the dark, at a party. Not great quality. Imagine if you followed me on Instagram (@urbpan) you would have had these spammed to your phone in real time!

Foreground to background: My closest zoo friend Kikipuff, my friend Jake who I knew before working at the zoo, and my friend Rachel. (and to the left, my friend Kambiri, a gorilla)

Lakeside dining

Friday, Kiki Sarah and I went to the Dudley Chateau ("the Chat") for dinner and drinks.
I'd been there at other times, but never had a window seat before.
Cutting off her piece
Aug. 27th, 2014 07:42 pm
Kikipuff and I were eating lunch outside at a picnic table when she began to be vexed by a single persistent yellow jacket worker. The wasp was intent on sampling my friend's chicken sandwich. Kiki ripped a chunk off of a chicken nugget and set it aside as an offering. The wasp's behavior didn't change. I realized that while the insect had originally oriented by scent, now she remembered the location of the food source and was not to be dissuaded. We slid down the bench and Kiki left the chunk of chicken at her now vacant spot on the table. Immediately the yellow jacket landed at the meat and took her time cutting a piece, before flying off to bring it to the larvae back in the nest.

Capron Park Zoo!
May. 3rd, 2014 03:41 pm
Capron Park Zoo is a small zoo in Attleboro Massachusetts, near Rhode Island. It's the closest zoo to me that I hadn't been to yet (now York's Wild Kingdom holds that place), and a former coworker is a zookeeper there. In fact, I've met most of the staff from this zoo, owing to our regular zookeeper meet ups! I thoroughly enjoyed this zoo, which was clean and attractive, providing a lot of value for a relatively small space. Their lions look very different from the one at Franklin Park--a different subspecies I think.

Yesterday was our first undeniably beautiful spring day that happened to fall on a weekend day. Great weather for snoozing under a picnic table.

After a particularly long and tortuous AAZK meeting. (Usually I feel enervated after these meetings, not this time.)
