I had an internship at the Capron Park Zoo in Attleboro Massachusetts this summer, and I had the time of my life!! It started in May and went until August.
In June I moved onto Animal Care...which was my favorite part of the entire summer! I did a lot of cleaning exhibits and indoor areas for the animals. I made up diets for the animals..which is harder than it seems..haha. I also got to play with some of the animals! My favorite animal there to play with were the Black and White Ruffed Lemurs! They will jump on your shoulders, your back, grab at your pants. Oh they are adorable!!
I was loved by all the keepers there. I would work there all day..and I would be 'stolen' from different keepers throughout the day. I would start off with Adam, get stolen by Steph, go back to Adam, then end up with Keri at the end of the day. They loved me and I loved them.
I had such a great time there. I made so many good friends and I am still in touch with them now that I am back at school.
I lived in the Rhode Island area and commuted into Attleboro. I really miss being in Rhode Island. I made some good friends there too and Providence is such a happening town. Lots to do and see! I can't wait to go back and visit!
I will tell you all about school later!
