ah...bruce almighty, that movie was a masterpiece, showed it to my 11 year old brother the other day, he laughed a good 15 mins, when he saw the scene with the tomato soup.
why the **** would we care at all ? you think your family and existence means anything to us ? i could lace a noose around your neck drop you from a bridge, and slowly watch you quiver till its over, you cunt. no one gives a **** .
Right lets make a list of thngs that made me draw the conclusion it might be a water monitor.
1. It lives in tropical Asia close to water.
2. the colorscheme.
3. the size of a juvenile .
Only real gribe i had with my conclusion was the head shape and stance which was more in line with an iguana but i know no iguana species of the area.
>"act like they know the awnser"
I said it looks like a water monitor, not that it was definitely one.
I also beg to differ on being ignorant on the subject of squamatas taking my education as a zookeeper in mind. though i did focus on large african herbivores .
See that's the thing - just pretty embarrassing for you to throw out terms like the scientific name and squamata when you're wrong.. What zoo did you work at? Were you actually paid for your work? I've worked with animals my entire life.
Yea i was wrong as i said earlier, dosnt make it embarrasing id say.
At this point i have to ask, why are we arguing?
Worked a year in Denmark Paid, tropical zoo
Work experience in Aalborg, Flamingoland and the living rainforest. all not paid Everyone who works with animals pretty spend all their life with animals so honestly thats no biggie
I tried Giraffe work twice and that fits me well, plus i like their attitude.
Falconering is sodding amazing, never worked with birds of prey but damm do i have some respect for them.
We did have a golden eagle at the park but we gave him away recently.
That's pretty sweet, what are they like to work with? Never done any work with them but they seem really interesting. If u keep males together do they **** each other up like in the wild?
Ah that sucks, do you know where it went to? Worked with a fair few golden eagles, amazing birds but not great for a lot of zoo environments where you have other animals/the public around, fish/sea eagles or smaller are much better for that imo. Still to hunt with one is amazing
Two same sized adult males might when the females get in heat because of hierachy but most of the time it will be alright, unless the non dominant male decides to up his rank..
We had some friends in a Slovenian zoo which specialized in birds of prey so they took him in and in return we get a snowy owl once its been trained up.
That's pretty interesting. So you have to keep an eye on how they're interacting etc?
Wowo that is a good deal for them! I guess zoos arent too bothered about that though. Are you going to use the owl for shows or anything? Do you fly any other birds there?
You always keep an eye on how the herd is doing internally but its not that bad.
We hope to use the owl for a show, other than the wild birds it will be the only one flying, the keepers assigned didnt have falconer experience so starting out with a golden eagle was a bit extreme, we get the owl instead.
Thats good, just remember seeing a documentary where they whip the **** out of each other with their necks and saw a couple facing off a bit when I was in Africa.
Yeah that is true haha, starting with a golden eagle as a first bird is definitely not a great idea. Snowy owls are actually pretty nice to work with, owls require more patience than for example hawks and often won't do things that a hawk would, but in France I've seen a snowy owl soaring in a show, which is pretty crazy. They're also a decent size for a first bird, not too small or big.
