I've been at the Museum sooooo long - longer than many of our interns have been alive. I do a little bit of everything as part of my job: care for the animals, work with the keepers and other staff, spend time with guests. Lucky me!
I spend a lot of time behind-the-scenes, or here after hours, but if you really want to see me, you'll have to sign-up for a behind-the-scenes program.

I have worked in the animal department for about 5 years. Some of my favorites include ferrets and birds. I am also known for my weird obsession with things relevant to the 80's.
I work Tuesday-Saturday and can be seen training our pigs on occasion.

QuikPost: Name that Bird.

November 28th, 2012

Here’s a quiz: What bird is in the photo?  ( Also, what native bird species is this bird related to and where in North Carolina was this photo taken)

 

Join the conversation:

  1. Nene.
    Canada Goose relative.
    State bird of Hawaii but the picture may have been taken at either Sylvan Heights (Scotland Neck) or the Zoo in Asheboro. Probably Sylvan Heights.

    you should ALWAYS go with Ranger Greg when it comes to bird questions.
    He’s absolutely right.
    Everyone who loves birds should take a visit to Sylvan Heights Waterfowl Farm!

QuikPost: Nope…not new tattoos

September 18th, 2012

So I am sitting in my office working on the budget when I hear Kimberly say something like “wow…you got new tattoos”? Jessi says no and sounds down. She got a wicked-bad case of poison ivy when clearing the brush pile from Friday’s bear yard work. It was a bit funny, but poor Jessi… SORRY JESSI

QuikPost: what’s that on Max’s neck?

August 27th, 2012

Any guess about what that is on Max and why it’s there…

Join the conversation:

  1. …is it something to keep Max from bending his neck/esophagus while eating?
    If this isn’t right, think I can hear lots of a’mooosing laughter!

  2. I don’t know what it is or what it is for, but it looks like it would make it harder for Max to slug you with that bony (but cute) head. How about a wattle holder?

  3. Director Comment :

    the Neck Cradle, like an E-collar for dogs after surgery, is supposed to prevent Max from turning his head and licking a sore spot.
    This one might be a bit short for him, but it will hopefully help him heal.

I have been working at the museum since 2003, and I feel fortunate to have a job where I can start my day with amazing animals surrounding me. I enjoy camping, hiking and rock climbing in my spare time when the weather is nice.
I work Tuesday through Saturday and spend a lot of time behind the scenes, but you might find me at a public program or feeding the farmyard animals in the afternoon.

QuikPost: Ah, that refreshing watermelon

July 27th, 2012

Only 7 days away from National Watermelon Day! Personally, I’m glad there is a day for everyone to celebrate watermelon. I think it is one of the most refreshing foods you can eat on a hot summer day. Many of our animals seem to find it refreshing (or at least enjoyable), as well.

Check out the video below of some of our indoor animals (and maybe even a keeper) enjoying some yummy watermelon. And don’t worry, Sherry, I put the keeper up to these shenanigans. She doesn’t always steal the animals’ watermelon!;)

Make sure to visit the museum next Friday, August 3rd so that you can see our animals in action as they gobble down some juicy and delightful watermelons at many of the keeper programs that will be held that day.

    Very true, Kristen!;) And Sherry, Jessi said she actually did have the juice all over her face and clothes but the camera hid it well. Fortunately we shot the video at the end of the day so she didn’t have to go outside much after that.

QuikPost: Interesting wolf article

May 12th, 2012

It’s an interesting read- take a look at this interesting yet sad –  report of a wolf in Alaska who apparently died of starvation.

http://www.alaskadispatch.com/article/why-lone-alaska-wolf-traveled-thousands-miles-only-die-starvation

******************************************

And don’t forget, you can still help out red wolves until 11:59 PM on May 15th:

The Red Wolf Coalition- the only not-for-profit whose only goal is to advocate for the long-term survival of the red wolf – is part of an Earth Day Fundraiser through Crowdrise. Right now through May 15th, the Coalition is part of Crowdrise’s Earth Day Challenge. Any dollar amount large or small would help. Donate in honor of the Museum’s wolves, an animal keeper, or just because. An extra $25,000 could be won to help red wolves!
