There’s a, a classic bit of video on YouTube of a keeper being attacked by a bull reindeer. And it’s an, it’s an ideal video for how not to deal with this situation. You know? And those videos are my favorite. ’cause I think they’re the most important learning tools. You know, here’s an example of how not to, and that those are the lessons that will get home in the minds of the people who you’re trying to instill. This is how you should be dealing with this. So a level of familiarity with animals, an ability to read situations because there’s now a removal that the, the, the partition between keeper and animal isn’t just the mesh anymore. Whereas both you and I were from a generation where, you know, if the animal came up to the mesh, given it scratch through the wire and whatnot, be it a tiger or a chimp or whatever, there was also days you knew that you didn’t take liberties with that chimp that day.
