This was an interesting week. Friday was normal, but the rest of the
week wasn't. Saturday, the zoo was closed during the day due to the
Walk in the Wild program at night. So it was a very quiet day with no
visitors running around, and was very relaxing for the goats and sheep
who completely enjoyed their day off. On Sunday I spent a couple hours
watching Jason and Sara, the guinea hogs waiting to collect a urine
sample because I thought I had noticed bloody urine on the ground. I
also had my second intern class which was on observing animal behavior.
Monday, I spent most of the first half of the day continuing to watch
Jason and Sara for urine samples as I was unable to get them the day
before. I finally got them and they were both normal. Most of the
second half of my day on Monday was spent doing lemur observations for
about 40 minutes before their lunch and about an hour after. This is in
preparation for my intern project which will include lemur enrichment
and how it effects their behavior.
