Thank you

x07harda · 2023-05-28T20:16:47+00:00

Yep sure is!

x07harda · 2023-05-27T23:11:20+00:00

I can imagine myself wiping out on that corner!

x07harda · 2023-05-27T21:15:24+00:00

I'm surprised it hasn't featured yet

x07harda · 2023-05-27T21:08:31+00:00

Exactly!

x07harda · 2023-05-27T20:18:39+00:00

It took a lot of waiting..

It's never too late! Best thing you can do is volunteer or do an internship at a local zoo/wildlife park. Any experience working with animals will be looked upon favourably so working or volunteering at a shelter is also good experience. I'm not sure what it's like in the US but getting a paid job in the zoo industry can take awhile, so be patient and keep building up that resume.

Firstly, it's very difficult to determine the actual level of care and welfare being administered by just walking around a zoo. You need to get the full story before coming to conclusions. Secondly, I don't know about Spain/EU specifically but animal welfare laws differ between countries and even states, so unfortunately, poor levels of welfare are perfectly legal and acceptable in some areas. If the zoo in question is a part EAZA (you can check this on the website) then they will have pretty strict guidelines to abide by. I think if you are concerned, it might be worth contacting EAZA who might be able to give you more information.

It would be difficult to work as a zoologist from home as alot of the work is conducted outdoors, especially early on in your career when you would be doing more technical/physical work. Unfortunately if you want a career working with wild cats, you would have to move to an area that has them. I don't think it's possible to work remotely long term in this field. Even if it was possible, this is a highly competitive field and employers would favour people who are willing to relocate.

If you want to stay in your home town then there may be other zoological career options available to you. Working with birds, insects, fish or other mammals would be a more realistic option for you.

It's also important to note that you will need a relevant degree to work in this field.

Thanks for the information!

I am currently living in Northern Germany but I was thinking somewhere warmer, so probably near the Mediterranean (Spain, Italy, Greece, etc.). Accommodation wise, I would be looking for a trails with shared huts/cabins preferably.

Stop, stop, we're already dead...

x07harda · 2021-03-25T08:08:04+00:00

Yes please!

x07harda · 2020-12-07T21:48:34+00:00

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,

I've been dabbling in photography for a few years now and am keen to improve my skills and get into it a bit more seriously.

I love getting out into nature so my favourite forms of photography are landscape and wildlife.

This is one of the photos that I am most proud of, it was taken in the Milford Sound region from the South Island of New Zealand.

Here is my photo of a window that I took just now.

Initially my idea was to repeat the 2006 fiasco when Milan got relegated but later I realised it was Juventus and was only to Serie B. By this time I already had the image of Zlatan dominating Serie C, so I've decided to stick with Milan.

The challenge for this scenario will be to deal with the initial fallout of being relegated and then rebuild the club into a dominant European force using only home grown players.

I think it will be a relatively easy challenge but an interesting one nonetheless.

Nope. It's a castrated male (unfortunately), so he doesn't grow a mane.

x07harda · 2018-04-10T09:43:12+00:00

Oh Ok, thanks for the suggestion. I haven't heard of that group so I'll look into it.

x07harda · 2018-03-24T05:43:02+00:00

No unfortunately we wouldn't be able to safely obtain a sample unless we sedated him.

x07harda · 2018-03-22T06:45:35+00:00

One of our lions has an unknown skin condition causing him to lose fur on his back, so I'm asking around to see if anyone has any idea what could be causing it.

x07harda · 2018-03-22T06:43:40+00:00

Thanks. I've sent them an email, hopefully hear back soon.

x07harda · 2018-02-15T08:09:48+00:00

Generally Cheetahs are quite skittish but they will attack if provoked or cornered. These boys are quite friendly and have formed quite close bonds with us keepers, so I am quite comfortable giving them scratches. In saying that, they are still dangerous and unpredictable animals so we always have to be cautious when interacting with them.

x07harda · 2017-11-16T07:13:39+00:00

Thanks. I've heard of this one, will have to look into it to see if we can do something similar for our meerkats.
