This week, Flora and Fauna have a pre-vacation breakdown and answer more of your questions! Listen to the madness ensue as we touch on tips for getting the most out of kindle, Edgar Allen Poe prequels, and mullets.   We discuss: - Our favorite (and least favorite) parts of the job and why? - If we could work with any other species or in any other section, what would it be and why?

What do Rumplestiltskin, Gordon Ramsay, bungholes, and lower back tattoos all have in common? They're all prominently featured in this week's episode. Learn about the Funnel Web Spider, a venomous babe from Australian who just wants to soak.

Time for more advice! For whatever reason, you guys keep asking for our advice when in actuality, we're just little slug women doing our best. TLDL: We love our volunteers and you should too, end of story. Also, name your animals, because why the heck not?   This week, we discuss: - Our experiences with volunteers, our thoughts on their role in the zoo, and advice on how not to be a dirtbag to the...

Him BABY! Small amphibian with big smoothie energy. Resistant to cancer, yes, regrow limbs, yes, cute, yes.

Little Robber Boy. Tiny masked bandit with hands of a man. The sneaky rabid raccoon.

Ho ho ho! Check out our special festive quick and dirty where we discuss how zookeepers spend their holidays, we toss out some last minute gift ideas, and talk about our favorite holiday traditions.  We answer: - What do zookeepers do on holidays and days when the zoo is closed?  - What are Flora and Fauna doing for their holiday?

Sumatran Rhinos are small, hairy, and vocal. We can relate. But let's get depressing, these things are dying, and it's all our fault.

We answer a QND we have avoided for 10 months. Sorry Aimee, we love you tho.   We answer: What are your opinions on circuses? If we don't support the circus, are zoos the next to go? Send in your thoughts if you agree/disagree! We would love to hear it. But be nice, k thanks.

This week we dive into the Big Ol' Blue and learn about Sea Turtles! We talk Pokemon per usual, discuss sea turtle certified self care strategies, and debate the best way to store a corn dog. 

We are thankful for Old Sharks, Grim Reapers, and Pokemon. We chat about the oldest vertebrate in the world, things that live on it's eyeballs, and whether or not it can deep throat a reindeer.

This week, Flora and Fauna get religious, unintentionally slip in an ad for Clif bars, and plan the next Keeper Chat meet-up. Buckle up, it's time to bug.

This week we get spooky and talk about a deep ocean boy. WARNING! Flora screams at 10:13 so prepare your eardrums. RIP

Woooo it's October. So we picked the pumpkin spice wolf. But guess what... it only eats apples and it's not even a wolf.

This week we're talking all about PASSION...of our jobs that is! We answer: What made you choose the animals you work with? Did they choose you?! Did you get knowledge gradually through internships? How do you get as much experience with the animal group you want to work with?

This week, learn about a real life dinosaur! Flora and Fauna get excited about caruncles and uncover the mystery of this big bird.
