Yeah....I did it.....So

So I landed an internship at Wonders of Wildlife! I heard about it through one of my teachers and thought that I might try to see if I could get it. I went in for an interview and was thrown questions by three people, and I guess my answers were pretty good because I'm an intern!

Job Description:

I'll be a teacher in the Wonders of Wildlife classrooms teaching about life cycles...etc. Some of the things that I've been doing is animal handling. I'm required to be able to hold the animals, crate them, and bring them into the classrooms.

These animals include:
  1. Frogs/Toads: American, Marine, and Bullfrog.
  2. Salamanders: Tiger
  3. African Millipede
  4. Pink Toed Tarantula .....EWWW and he's really hairy!
  5. Hissing Cockroaches
  6. Turtles: African and Box/water
  7. Iguana named Chevy
  8. Bearded Dragons: Sydney, and Melbourne
  9. Snakes: Speckled King Snake, Rat Snake, Corn Snake, and some more king snakes.
  10. Angora Rabbit: Fitzgerald
  11. Kestrels: Orion, and Buttercup
  12. Hedgehogs
