A Zookeeper in Australia Shares Pictures From His Job and They Are Wonderful

It was always one of my dreams to become a zookeeper…but then I realized I was really bad at science and there was no way in hell I’d be able to ever do anything with animals or medicine…

But these days, I get to live vicariously through other folks who make a living working with animals, and that’s just about the best thing I could ask for!

And one great example is a zookeeper in Australia named Chad Staples. He shares great and wholesome photos of his daily activities on his Instagram page and we think you’re gonna love it. We know we do in a major way!

Let’s take a look at some of Staples’ photos from his job. Enjoy!

1. I think you have a new friend.

That’s a huge tongue bath!

2. Not as vicious as you might think.

Say cheese!

3. I love that face!

Chad looks pretty good, too.

4. Come in for some snuggles.

That’s a good tiger.

5. Who doesn’t love koalas?

They got plenty of them Down Under!

6. Feeding a wombat a bottle.

How adorable is this?

7. That animal is ENORMOUS!

His caption on this photo is right on.

8. Get a load of these dingo babies!

Are they precious, or what?

9. I call this one “wombat love.”

Be careful of those nails, though.

10. Oh my gosh, I can barely handle this one.

Look at how adorable this little fella is.

11. A true gentle giant.

Big love!

12. Climb aboard!

They seem very lovable.

This guy rules! And the animal ain’t half-bad, either!

And now we want to hear from YOU.

In the comments, tell us about your favorite zoo that you’ve ever been to in your whole life.

Thanks in advance!

Check Out the Tricks Zookeepers Use for Weighing Animals

Fair warning – these pictures are about how zookeepers weigh all kinds of animals, but mostly, they’re an excuse to look at adorable baby animals mugging for the camera.

I have a feeling you’re down for both, though, so check out these 17 tricks zookeepers use to make sure they get accurate weights on all of the animals under their care.

17. Be a good pupper, get a treat.

That’s how we weigh our seal lions.

Sea pupper gets weighed from aww

16. The next time you puppy won’t stay still.

This will only work for a couple of months with the bigger breeds, though.

Weighing a stray puppy I took in from aww

15. Upside down on a can?

The turtle looks like he thinks this is undignified.

14. I have a hunch he’s not going to stay that little for long.

But he’ll still be cute.

13. Brand new baby.

This world is confusing, isn’t it?

12. That hedgehog does not look amused.

Then again, someone stuffed him in a jar.

11. He’ll be ready for his first frat party soon.

But not too soon.

10. How is that a porcupine?

Is someone punking me?

9. It’s best to let him sit where he likes.

Or he might decide he prefers your head.

8. Baby hummingbird.

Maybe the only bird that’s cute.

This is what a baby hummingbird weigh in looks like from aww

7. Just stay now.

Don’t move…please.

6. Give him a treat, of course.

That’s the way to get me to stand still, too.

5. You have no right to be so cute, little penguin.

NO RIGHT, I say.

4. He looks kind of angry.

Maybe he just has resting b*tch face.

3. Wait until they’re asleep?

The puppy life is a hard one.

2. Snacks seem to be a good trick.

I can see how that would work.

1. The second one wants to know what’s going on.

What’s in the box?

 

I warned you, and I delivered in the best possible way, right?

Which one of these baby animals made you awwwwww the hardest? I know it’ll be a tough call, but give it a shot!

Clever Tricks That Zookeepers Use to Weigh Animals

Anyone who has ever owned a dog or a cat knows that it can be tricky to get a good weight for them. They’re wiggly, they’re uncooperative, and that’s just for relatively small animals, right?

Now think about being a zoo vet and having to weigh things like hippos and giraffes…it would get pretty complicated, right?

Luckily, people have learned plenty of tricks over the years – here are 20 clever ones you probably never imagined.

20. Just weigh the whole cage.

I mean, you could totally catch him if he got out, though.

19. If you don’t take have to take the koala out of the tree, don’t.

I guess that’s probably a good rule of thumb.

Its weigh day! Regular weighing of the koalas, especially the joeys, is important to make sure they are staying healthy, putting on weight and keeping it on. Kangaroo Island Wildlife Park

Posted by Kangaroo Island Koala and Wildlife Rescue Centre on Tuesday, April 7, 2020

18. Little baby is big mad!

You put him in a bowl!

17. Are you weighing the human or the giraffe?

That takes one confident zookeeper.

16. That is a very large rodent.

But also somehow cute?

This baby bat sitting patiently whilst being weighed from mildlyinteresting

15. I know this probably is supposed to keep them calm.

Maybe owls always look panicked.

I work at a bird banding station, and we use burritos to weigh the owls we catch. from aww

14. Look at his little face!

Don’t take his blankie!

13. Just like weighing a human baby.

He looks just about as thrilled about it, too.

12. A frog in a spoon.

So tiny!!

Forbidden cocoa puff from forbiddensnacks

11. I cannot get enough of these owls.

Their faces are priceless.

10. Convince him it’s a trick!

They love tricks, because they’re bored out of their minds.

A penguin is cute anywhere.

8. Who knew they started out so small!

Just keep him in the water!

7. I cannot with this.

The cuteness is way too much.

6. It fits, he sits.

For a few seconds, anyway.

Our new kitten had to be tricked into being weighed from aww

5. He looks so happy!

He could teach my kids a thing or two.

4. That lion cub doesn’t look like it wants to sit.

There’s a cat for you.

3. Bless his heart.

2. Can we have a whole page of these?

Or more than one?

1. I guess anything with long legs gets held.

It’s probably the safest route.

I love the idea of working at a zoo, but I don’t think I could hack it.

Which one of these surprises you the most? Tell us in the comments!

This Account Is Dedicated to Funny and Weird Animal Photography

It takes a special eye to be able to capture animals in the wild.

And what you’re about to see is pretty much the complete opposite of the sentence above.

Because these photos all come from a funny Instagram account called “Crap Wildlife” that features, well, photos that really aren’t that impressive.

But they sure will make you laugh! And that’s the most important thing, right?

9. Haven’t you ever seen The Birds?!?!

10. This is very intimidating.

Also, look at how BUFF that kangaroo is.

11. Someone’s at the door, go check it out.

Oh no, not you again!

12. I think I’m looking at a dance-off?

Does anyone else see that?

How about you?

Cats Can Be Total Jerks and Here’s All the Proof You Need

Those cats are never gonna change…

No matter how many times we scold them, punish them, or take their treats and toys away, they still, well, act like total jerks to us.

But we love them anyway, don’t we?!?!

These Cats Are All Confused About How to Be… Cats

You would think that they’d have the hang of this thing by now, wouldn’t you?

I’m talking about our cats and how they sometimes forget how to…well…be cats.

We can try to figure out what’s going on inside their heads, but you know that’s pretty much an impossible task.

They’re weird and they’re gonna do their own thing, no matter what us lowly humans try to say to them.

Here are some cats that are clearly having a few struggles…

1. You need to learn how to loaf properly!

You’re still not getting it!

I think she might be a little OBSESSED.

If you’ve spent any time around cats, you know a couple of things for sure: no two kitties are the same, and they’re all TOTAL WEIRDOS.

I don’t think they do it on purpose, but all cats seem to have one mission on this planet: to make their human “owners” question their actions and to completely confuse them.
