Frist day on the job!

Not very many people can say that they have bottle fed a porcupine... well I HAVE :)
Today was amazing! It was my first day at the internship and i absolutely loved it!
When I first got there i had to help chop the fruits and vegetables for the animals breakfast. After we got that finished we took the food out to all the animals! I fed three different species of porcupines (one of which i bottle fed), Bintrongs or bearcats capybaras, camels, goats, llamas, Kune Kune (a type of pig from Africa), coatimundis (which are so cute! they are similar to a raccoon and are so fun! when i went to give them their food they started climbing all over me!), sloths and Kangaroos!
After feeding them it was time to clean the cages which really wasn't that bad. Ya it smelled, but I was in cleaning cages with sloths, armadillos and kangaroos! how cool is that!
The one animal that i was afraid of was the Rabbit! They have a pet bunny there and i had to clean it's cage... everyone said it was an evil one, but i refused to believe it! I had almost finished cleaning it all when he decided he didn't like me in his cage and hopped over and bit my arm! well it really wasn't a bite, more of a nibble, but still! After i finished cleaning i agreed with the others, it is an evil rabbit!
There was one other part that made a little nervous, we took the food out to the pasture where the camels, goats, llamas, and pony are! There are three camels in that area and when camels get excited they stomp their feet and swing their head... well these are pretty big animals and when they start stomping and swinging you better watch out! you have to be quick and cautions when you are feeding them, but if there is no food and they aren't excited or upset they are the nicest things ever, they will follow you around while your raking or walking from place to place. Also camels make the weirdest noises haha they are so nasty sounding!
After a feeding and cleaning it was time to take the inside animals out. The last little bit it had been too cold for the Lesser Anteaters, a Porcupine from South America and all the Sloths! (which by-the-way sloths are the weirdest looking animals i have ever seen) We lured the porcupine into a crate to transport it outside. We also took two of the three anteaters out; to transport them you just picked them up by their tails! haha it was the funniest thing! you pick them up and they just hang there and are chill with it! Before we could take the third anteater out we had to give him a bath. He had made a mess eating that morning and had gotten it all over himself! So I helped in bathing an anteater! haha i think they are the most chill animal in the world... he was totally fine with us washing him!
It was too cold to take the 6 sloths outside we we just moved them into a bigger cage indoors. We also relocated the capybara and the Kune Kune. They had a batch of Kune Kunes come in August... there are about seven of this cute little piglets! If you scratch them on their belly they will just flop over so you can give them a proper belly rub :) they are so cute and make the cutest little oinks and squealing noises!
The last thing of the day I did was to rake out the Kangaroo's pen... it's a big pen and it took a while to do but it was fun! The kangaroos would come up to you and make this barking/belching noise and then just stand there and expect you to do something back! I loved being in there, but I was a little hesitant about the male roo. His name is Trooper and he is over six feet tall! He's a BIG kangaroo and his bark/belch was so loud! But he didn't bother us too much! just give him his space and it's fine.
It was a great day and i cannot wait to go back and learn more about the animals and their certain personality :) sorry i didn't get any pictures... but i promise i will!
