Mandrill

Today I gather the Monkey Village and Baboon/Mandrill diets. Philip double check them and we were missing the training grapes so we had to wait until someone grabbed them for us. The meeting was short with very little that was new. The only thing that was new was information about the spider monkey, Debbie. It appears that she is having some issues with food and the medical staff wanted the buffer to service them in the afternoon. Philip got me started on cleaning the exhibits while he prepared the diets. It was the same routine as yesterday but he wanted me to also check the lick sticks and the hot wire. I was going through everything when I had forgotten to check the lick sticks, so as I was placing out their food I also checked the…

both carts while waiting for Denise and Amy. There was a relief keeper for Baboon/Mandrill, so I was told not to move the carts and that we would meet at the commissary today. I meet the relief keeper, Stephanie. In which I gathered she is a quite person as she did not introduce herself and did not even acknowledge me. I only know her name because she was the person who called out last time she was on the string with me. I gathered that she and Denise do not care for eachother very quickly…

journey for the day. After about three and a half hours of walking I decide to rest under a Cocoa Tree because it had food and it provided shelter. Later, I remembered that Sumatran Orangutan could be found around this area because the area has a lot of vegetation and fruit. As I got up, I started to see smoke and walked in the direction of it. Fifteen minutes later, I found myself standing next to one of the military-like forces villages that I was looking for. The village was between the river…

generation has seen “The Lion King” multiple times during their childhood years. Unfortunately I haven’t watched it, so I viewed this movie with an open mind and empty slate. Seeing as I had never watched it before, I had only the vaguest idea of what it would be like. I thought it was going to consist of the stereotypical character scheme of a protagonist who faces his villain, defeats the enemy, and wins some sort of award at the end. I never considered that it would go further into depth than…

counted, I prepared the diets for both Howler and Siamang. Prepped the BE for them as well. I cleaned the dishes, cutting board and knife, took care of odd and ends and went out to check with Amy on what to do now. Mary and Amy were talking about a few plant related issues. The volunteers found a whistling duck egg, still looking for the nest. I cleaned the night house- there were a few lick sticks that were not working, but it turns out that they are connected to the misters and will turn…
