Where I work

Location of Children's Zoo - areas I work circled in red

 I work in part of the Children’s Zoo at Oakland Zoo in Oakland California.  I care for the 7 domestic rabbits, located in the upper right end of the children’s zoo; 2 blue-eyed black lemurs and 5 ring tail lemurs located at the lower right end of the children’s zoo; the pot belly pig with 2 domestic rabbits, and  2 guinea hogs are on the upper left end of the children’s zoo; and the sheep and goat barn, with 4 sheep and 11 goats located in the lower left end of the children’s zoo.  The sheep and goats are part of the contact yard, which is a petting zoo that is open to the public everyday, where people can pet and brush the animals.  Also located in the barn are 3 domestic cats, and Lily, the zoo dog ambassador, a golden retriever is usually down at the barn everyday as well.
