Keeper Chat

This week we answer the eternal question, is it a whale or a shark?? Flora and Fauna have slug brain and scream about chickens. Take a big ocean sip babe!

*This area intentionally left blank*

Raise your hand if the Lion King traumatized you as a child. This week we dive into that fave flick and talk about the bird behind Zazu - the red billed hornbill! Hear about Flora and Fauna's sordid past, all the dumb stuff their cats do, and listen as they do some investigative journalism on air.

Kinkajou, I choose you! Let's talk about the honey bear, the exorcist of the forest, the stripper of the pokemon world.

Answering more of those burning zookeeper questions that keep you up at night. ;) We answer: How do you deal with seasonal employment? Any advice for interns? How can you prepare for the next step? Any advice for moving?! How can a green keeper stand out against those with more experience?

We still answer listener questions, we swear! :) This week is all about guest interactions. We answer: - What are the funniest we've heard zoo guests say? - Do we have any anecdotes of our top most ridiculous encounters with guests? - What stupid questions have we been asked, have we overhead people mistake species of animals for others, and what arguments have we found ourselves in with ignorant...

Everybody can relate to body horror, yes? This week listen to Flora and Fauna wrap up the Game of Thrones themed episodes and vow to never do anything like this again. 

 Game of Thrones week continues with a bird boy. The Raven! It's hella smart and hella cool. Edgar himself makes an appearance or two.

Still forcing game of thrones on you. So welcome to May 2019. We do another house sigil. It's emo, it's a vampire, it's got less chromosomes than a potato.

Continuing the Game of Thrones mania, this week learn all about the Lion! House Lannister chose the best sigil because lions are dope AF. Fauna is back from death and basically a white walker, and Flora is all business. 

Fauna pulls a fkn Lannister. Learn about BIG DRAGON BOYS.

Imposter syndrome. What is it? idk? Do you have it? Maybe. We talk about feeling like your faking it til you make it. Also we have a serious discussion about whether we would let one of the new Pokemon starters lobotomize us. There's a lot to unpack here. We answer:  - Can you talk about imposter syndrome as it relates to the zoo field?
