My field is with apex predators, hence your crocodiles, your snakes, your spiders.
Hunters and trackers learn not only to understand intellectually a bunch of facts about the animal they follow, but to feel their way into the very being of the animal.
Living in a zoo means it wasn't always sparkly dresses, but I would still dress up. I had this pink sparkly dress and fairy wings, and I'd put those on and then go and dance in the zoo.
It'll certainly give the pigeons something to do.
It's about keeping animals in our environment. They can't be on somebody's purse or shoes or something.
Why build a zoo when we can just put up a fence around Chapel Hill?
Every species has its pub.
We literally live right in the middle of the zoo, and it means that every day is a new experience and so much fun.
Animals. They're nice, aren't they? They're good things, animals.
Animals are everywhere. Some are more romantic, like tigers and elephants and chimpanzees, and some are less romantic, like earthworms, but they are just as interesting.
I have spent my entire life living in a zoo, which is pretty crazy. Not many kids get to say that, and it took me until I was about three years old to realize that we didn't just come to the zoo every day, that we actually lived here.
In my travels, I have encountered cranes on three continents.
I liked the koala, wallaby, and I chilled with a kangaroo a bit. There was a wombat that I quite enjoyed also.
The Central Park Zoo is a little gem in the middle of the city. Its penguin exhibit is terrific, and the seals are a permanent center of attraction for children.
When I was a kid in New York I used to go to the zoo. I always liked the zoo. I grew up within walking distance of the Bronx Zoo. And then when my first two children were young, I used to take them to the zoo. Zoos are always interesting. And I make pictures.
When I was little, my parents took me to the San Diego Zoo. I was about 5 years old, and I got a tour of the zoo that hardly anybody else has ever had.
If you're a wildlife filmmaker and you're going out into the field to film animals, especially behavior, it helps to have a fundamental background on who these animals are, how they work and, you know, a bit about their behaviors.
cats will be clean in a pigsty while pigs will be dirty in a marble hall.
Travelling through the breeding places of our species is far from being as interesting to me as it is to inspect the breeding places of the feathery tribes of our country.
Of all the animals which fly in the air, walk on the land, or swim in the sea, from Paris to Peru, from Japan to Rome, the most foolish animal in my opinion is man.
We don't have to go to wild places to find wildlife. A surprisingly wide range of species can be found in our sities and towns, from familiar animals like the raccoon to more exotic ones like the mountain lion.
Zoology has always been interesting to me. Nature is fascinating.
Animals interest me more than anything else.
I do love nature, but I don't suppose I'd spent more time in zoos as a child than anyone else!
I always wanted to be a zoologist. I'm fascinated with animals. I wanted to be a zookeeper.
