Later, in the reptile house, I managed to arrange a python skin to look (in my imagination anyway) like an invisible snake!
I worked the Free Flight Bird Show and the Australiana Show before ending my shift with the kangaroos and wallabies.
My shift ended, but my experience did not: I got to participate in the Crocodile Talk. Boss Hogg is a middle aged male salt water crocodile that is about 4.8 meters long and weighs somewhere up around a thousand kilograms. It took a lot of coaxing, but I managed to convince Boss Hog to eat some raw chicken dangling from a stick I was holding!
