My daughter Emma just got hired on as a permanent fulltime keeper at the Happy Hollow Zoo.

This is almost exactly the very best thing she could imagine doing ever. (The very best would involve more marine avians)

That's awesome! Congratulations to her, which animals will she be working with?

Oh! Congratulations to her! My first career aspiration (after giving up on "being a bird") was to be a zookeeper. Living in San Diego had a great deal to do with that ....

That's awesome! I am presently reading a book called The Rhino with Glue-on Shoes, which is a vast collection of essays by zoo veterinarians about their most interesting patients. Of course these vets work with zookeepers all the time, and the range and variety of the work is pretty evident.
