Don't get your hopes up, it's not THE big news... we still won't hear about our animal assignments until next month.
However, we did get our caretaking assignments for San Diego week today! For a week in February I will be responsible for taking care of an adorable coati named Scout and a beautiful, intelligent-as-heck hamadryas baboon named Nyani. I was kind of hoping for the lemurs, since they were on my list of animals to ask for, but I think working with Nyani will be an amazing opportunity. And, of course, I'll get to hang out with my little squishybird Cain again!
In other news... say hello to ATZ's new Adoptions Manager! Here at America's Teaching Zoo families have the opportunity to "adopt" an animal. For a yearly sponsorship fee they get to have personalized meet-and-greets with that animal once a month. I would be the person who puts together adoption packages including sponsorship certificates, and I would also be present for all the adoption appointments with all the animals on the zoo! This is an amazing opportunity to do a lot of interacting with the public and also to spend much more time with the animals!
I am so incredibly excited for what this next year will bring, and I will keep you posted as I learn more about my new position!
Till next time,
Christy
