I have been volunteering at the Santa Ana zoo for the last 7 months. i have recently been certified as a docent, which is a tour guide for the zoo. As a docent a give tours around the zoo for grade schools that come in. We also do animal handling for animals presentations for guests and groups that also come in to the zoo. So I'm having these Zoo stories for the experiences that I will be experiencing at the zoo.
Two weeks ago, my class and i were walking around the zoo looking at all the plants in the zoo. we were with one the of docents that specializes in plants. "Plant Day!" is what we called it. As we were walking around the zoo, we noticed that ALL the animals we were a little off the wall that morning and just acting up. What the docent pointed out was the vet was on scene and all the animals now knew it. The golden loin tamerins were making the most noise. It was a high pitch screaming howl. Something that you don't what we be standing next to when the vet comes walking by, because it only gets louder.
All the moneys in the zoo swinging and running back and forth like crazy, plus the noises they were making. It was really wierd and kinda scary. My first thought that there was going to be an earthquake. Nope! just the vet!
