I had the opportunity to sign up to be a Zookeeper for a day at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. I got to do many of the daily tasks which the zookeeper perform. Some of the things I got to do include...
- Walk a dingo
- Clean a Tasmanian Devil enclosure
- Prepared food for the wild Lorikeets
- hid meat throughout the dingo enclosure for them to find
- sorted the platypus food
Me holding a Barking Owl, it makes a loud screeching noise.

I got to hold a Koala ! ! !
The dingo's, I had the opportunity to walk and hide food for. A great pose perched up against his cage.
The platypus.He was so fast it was hard to get a good picture.
Me and an Eagle.
A snake plugged in a hole.
A koala hanging out upside down. Fact: Koalas are very active animals when they are awake.
Here I am holding a Shingleback lizard. This lizard's tail looked just like its head. His scales looked and felt like the bark of a tree.
