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!

Some Zoos Are Rating Their Animals like Amazon Reviews and It’s Very Informative

Aren’t zoos great? But wouldn’t it be even greater if you knew the quality of the animals? After all, if I’m going to stare at a koala napping in a eucalyptus tree, I want to know that I’m only looking at the best. Wonder no more! Zoos and zookeepers across the country have taken on the important task of rating their animals like Amazon reviews. Don’t be surprised if you actually learn something too.

It all started when the Oregon Zoo gave two sound 4-Star reviews for their owls and river otters.

Not to be outdone, The California Academy of Sciences were brutally honest about their albino gator but were quick to update their score to best reflect reality.

Ken Allen, an orangutan became famous for escaping from his enclosure at the San Diego Zoo 3 times in the 1980’s. He would peacefully stroll around the zoo looking at other animals and never acted aggressively. Other animals even followed his lead and began escaping, too. 00
