I didn’t, well, it was odd. I mean, I remember when I was first assigned to the hoofstock area with the sable antelope, I was working with a keeper who later left the zoo to become an Arizona State Trooper, but he informed me that I was gonna have difficulty, because I wouldn’t be able to handle, you know, the male sable antelope would attack me as soon as I, if I was there when, if I ever had my period. And I wasn’t able to, ’cause he managed the animals by marking his territory. Every morning he’d go round and urinate in all the male stalls so he would have his dominance and I wasn’t physically capable of doing that. And I just laughed. I mean, I didn’t laugh at him, but I was just, it was just an interesting take on animal management as far as I was concerned.
