I watched the thing about Tiger Island, a part of Dreamworld in Queensland Australia, on Animal Planet last night and it got me thinking.
I've always thought about working with animals, but I never thought to pursue it because I didn't want to be a vet. Recently, though, I've seen so much on animal trainers (be it those at Tigerland or seaworld or whatever) and I've been thinking that that would be a great job to have.
I've been obsessed with tigers, sharks, and wolves for a long time. I guess theres something about predatory animals with really bad rap sheets that catches my interest, but I really am mesmerized by these creatures. I would love to learn how to work with them.
Blah.. so.. yeah. I'm definitely going to hafta travel to Australia to visit Tiger island some day soon.. and learn about the place and experience it. That would be too cool.
I also want to learn to swim with sharks. I really envy Chris and Steve-o on wildboyz since they got to do that. I'm fascinated by sharks. I dunno why..
Random.. but it's been sittin in my head all day.
What a cool job that would be. I wonder if there's animal psychology. I'm gonna look into that.
