First Day as a Volunteer.

Today was my first day as a volunteer in the Singapore Zoo, at the Fragile Forest. Going behind the scene in the Fragile Forest was so fun. I got to play with Stick Insects, Rhino Beetles, Horse Shoe Crabs, Mice, Sloths, Tree Kangaroo and lemurs.
I had to cut fruits and vegetables for all the animals, and i had to cut raw smell fish (disgusting); and do you know Stick Insects makes lots of droppings. While I was feeding the raw fish to the Horse Shoe Crab, I poked my finger on to its hard spiny carapace, and the wound hurts.
The keepers are really friendly and are fun to talk to he even brought me behind the scene into Cat Country during our break time, and I came face to face with a Jaguar; protecting me was just a steel mash (exciting). And they are big. I'll be volunteering till 4 January 08, from 9am to 4pm.
