Zookeeper for a Day - Lone Pine - January 17


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.
