Profile Information
- About Me:
- I am a college student majoring in biology (focusing on mammalian ethology) and conservation biology. Before I moved to Massachusetts a year ago, I volunteered for nearly five years at the Fresno Chaffee Zoo in California with our two wonderful Asian elephants, Shaunzi and Kara. These girls have taught me how intelligent, complex, social, caring, and overall amazing beings elephants are. I also have a great love for Africa and her wildlife and I am planning to travel eastern and southern Africa (Tanzania, Kenya, South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia) as well as parts of Asia (India, Sri Lanka, Borneo) studying animal behavior (focusing on elephants) and taking part in their conservation.

And we made giant ice cream cones. We made these by paper macheing the elephants giant toy balls and painti… Continue
