This week was again mostly normal. The cats are now allowed out almost
everyday to roam around, but have to have someone keeping an eye on them
making sure they do not go by gators or pigs. If they do, they are
picked up and carried back to their room and placed there as a reset,
the intent being that they will learn if they go past certain points
they will have to start all over again making it a waste of their
energy. Sunday was the intern class again, and this week it was about
enrichment and during the class we all designed small enrichment items
that we could give to an animal of our choosing if we wanted, I made
mine for the lemurs. We also had a behind the scenes tour of part of
String 8, the hyena, vervet monkey, and meerkat nighthouses. The keeper
called these animals into their nighthouses while we were there so that
we could see them. On Monday I did more lemur observations for my
intern project.
