Muggle Animals - The Zoo

[Kath Blackthorn]

[Please remember to also post in the thread at the classroom!]

After touching the portkey Kath soon arrived at the zoo. Her uncle was the head keeper so when she took the students there they would get access that the public would not. Standing in a quite area Kath waited for the students to land from the portkey. She probably looked a little crazy hiding behind the bushes but she couldn’t allow the students to land in broad daylight what with the muggle running around. Once the students had landed Kath began to talk to them. "Hello guys welcome to Muggle Animals lesson nine and London Zoo” With the amount of times that Kath had been here she pretty much knew the place off by heart. ”Considering this is your last proper lesson before finals ive decided to give you somewhat of an easy lesson” Kath could have just let the students wander around but she decided that was too simple.

”You are allowed to wander around the zoo and enjoy yourself but there is something else I want you to do while you’re here, I would like you to get involved with the animals” Kath then went on to explain what she meant ”Because my uncle is the head keeper here we get access that the public do not. I would like you to join in with one of the keepers and help look after the animals” Kath paused for a moment to stop herself from babbling she knew her explanations weren’t fantastic so allowing some time for the students to take the information in was probably needed. ”I don’t expect you to spend all day helping id just like you to help with one activity like feeding or perhaps grooming” Hopefully Kath made sense if not the students would just have to ask.

”Now I expect you all to be on your best behaviour and to work alongside the keepers rather than being hindrances. If I hear of anyone messing around or not following instructions then you will be punished accordingly” Kath was quite sure that the students would behave but she thought she’d better stick that warning in there just in case. ”If anyone needs any help them feel free to let me know I will be wandering around. I will leave the portkey here so that if you wish to return back to the school then you can” Kath said resting the cuddly toy firmly in the bush out of sight from the muggles. ”Right off you go and have fun” Kath said allowing her students to wander off. This could end up working or well or being a complete disaster.

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
If you need some help coming up with an idea or help with anything at all please PM me! I would like you to roleplay yourself looking around the zoo and choosing an animal to help with. If you are wishing to help feed then you will need to research what that animal eats so that you can roleplay it out properly.

You are welcome to feed the dangerous animals (like lions) though they will be shut away when you are laying the food out. You could also help to wash off the elephants and feed them some fruit and veg. Those were a few examples but feel free to do whatever you wish. If you are unsure of anything feel free to run your ideas by me.

I also have a quick something to ask you…
Please could you all PM me your input on the final. Did you want all questions, all roleplaying/practical or a mix of both? Or any other ideas that you have would be much appreciated.

[Onikah Dawn]

Today was to be an exciting day for Onikah. she simply loved animals and this was her favorite class this summer. Today she knew that she wanted to help care for the snakes. Off to the reptile exibit she followed after the zoo worker. Arriving she looked in awe at the various morphs of ball pythons and othyer snakes they had.

Ball pythons she knew to only grow to be about 3-6feet and as big around as your fist.(OOC: I LOVE MY BALL PYTHONS!!!!) They are so named the 'ball' python for the fact that they are a tmid easy going snake who curls into a ball when frightened. easy to be a great beginner snake for the slow growth and docile temprament of them.

Reticulated pythons are a larger species of pythons reaching aroung 14-20 feet, often referred to in the snake world as the devil. They are a mean tempered snake with llittle to no apprecation for the humans that care for it

Corn snakes are one of the most fun aqnd common beginner snakes. They hatch at around 12-16 inches long and smaller then you pinky. They come in some odd over thirty colors and are easy to care for however much more hyper then the ball python

Ahh to care for these snakes and the many other she would love.

Starting off with her favorites the ball she scooped o ut the fecals matter and layed down new bedding and tossed in a mouse to each snak some getting small rats.

asking for help she moved on to the reticulated who was a youngester at only about 5 feet long but still not a ploeased fellow. Doing the same she tossed in a rabbbit for him.

and last but not least the corn snakes. she tossed in pinky mic for them watching as some had learned to constrict and some had not mastered this feat yet (OOC: My baby just learned to constrict at 4 month of age).

A good day, she had had being able to convey her knowladge to the zoo keeper and whoever else was standinga round. but next was the final
