What kind of bird is that?

By Jaime Wilson, Zoo Blog Keeper

Ask any Zookeeper... the most frequent question they hear is "What kind of animal is that?", while people point at the human cleaning the exhibits or feeding the animals.

Well, on a recent summer morning a man was spotted in the middle of Lake Victoria! This was definitely an odd sighting, but we confirmed that it was just one of our sure-footed Zookeepers armed with a fire hose doing some maintenance and cleaning in the lake.

Even the Zoo staff stopped to take a second look and ask "what kind of bird is that?".
