Dirt under my nails.
Blood on my boots.
The stable made me what I am.
Can’t handle the smell? Scroll the fuck on. 🥾

Funny story from work today.
Customer, feeding the roos: "Which one is the alpha male?"
Big roo: *immediately stands taller and punches the roo beside him in the face*
Me: "That one."

A Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo standing on his right foot on a branch, tail and left wing spread behind him, left foot held up like he's twirling a dress.
"I'm ready for my photoshoot!"
Cocky looking fabulous. Put him on the cover of Vogue!

A kangaroo sneezed on my face today. That was fun. Not. #zookeeperlife
A Tasmanian Devil standing side on and looking at the camera, holding a leather work glove and some straw in his mouth
Little thief stole my glove. Fortunately my paw wasn't in it at the time. #zookeeperlife #tasmaniandevil
You didn’t lose the keeper in you. They’re still right there 🩵

when you're working on a new species and it becomes your special interest but you already left work... #zookeeperlife #animalnerd #itsfreakinbats #whereisCorbin
For the ones who never stopped caring. 🌎
Every design gives back to wildlife conservation, because the work doesn’t end when the uniform comes off.

loving the weird, unlovable and just plain unknown ❤️ #zookeeperlife #LoveWildly #ProtectFiercely #ConservePassionately
Every keeper knows this rule by heart, and probably has a few scars or stories to prove it 😅
Here’s to loving the wild ones, bite marks and all.

A Tasmanian Devil looking just to the left of the camera, her mouth wide open, showing off her tongue and teeth, with her left paw raised. Her sister is just visible behind her in the top of the frame.
My friend needs a new dentist. Her last one quit. Any volunteers? Don't worry, her bite isn't thaaaat bad. Only half as strong as a lion, that's all! You won't even feel that measly 1400psi of pressure!
Fun fact: Tassie Devils have 42 teeth, the same number as a dog!

Seeing some (ok a ton) of hate on posts from zoos, aquariums, etc. about Pride. If you feel the urge to post hateful comments, maybe take a second to think about how those posts may not be for you. Animals and animal husbandry is astonishingly queer. #zookeeperlife #pride

This new #Lilo&Stitch movie is looking great! #tasmaniandevil #zookeeperlife #funny #cute
A Little Wattle Bird sitting on a wooden railing
They might be common, but I always enjoy watching the Little Wattle Birds play! Did you know that their scientific name, Anthochaera chrysoptera tasmanica, means Tasmanian Golden-Winged Flower Enjoyer?

Balanced dog training is my gig here in the south suburbs of Chicago. In home training only. I adore animals of all kinds and miss being a zookeeper.

A brushtail possum with unusual facial patterning looking grumpy and sleepy
If looks could kill... I don't think this #brushtailpossum appreciated being woken. Fortunately I had food to placate him! Check out his beautiful facial patterning though! #zookeeperlife
A Cape Barren Goose with his head tucked over his back and between his wings
PSA: This is how to correctly fold your #goose prior to storage. #zookeeperlife
(Please note: goose folding and storage is done at your own risk; Furrhan takes no responsibility for loss or injury that may arise as a result of attempting to store your goose, properly or otherwise.)
Funny moment today. Was showing a colleague how to work the new time clock.
What I tried to say: "This is the start shift button"
What I said: "This is the start shit button"

A kangaroo sleeping on the butt on another kangaroo
A closer shot of the same kangaroo sleeping on her friend's butt and hugging the tail
There is no pillow more comfortable than your best friend's butt.
Did you all know kangaroos have friends and will hang out with some mob members more than others?

A sleepy Tasmanian Devil resting his chin on a log
Sorry, bud. Those puppy eyes won't work. I literally just fed you. #tasmaniandevil #cute #zookeeperlife
