Chapter 3 - 5 exhibits!

As the 7 employees were talking and enjoying themselves before work you may ask yourself why come so early simple they come from Appleton the nearest city and that's almost a 30 mins drive they can't risk coming late so they go out early, drake at this moment was looking at the zoo lay out, for 5 acres we used the space nicely at the front of the zoo entrance is a parking lot and infront of that is a dirt road when you walk into the entrance you'll be met with the first exhibit surrounded by small fences this is the flamingo exhibit where a flock of 4 live to the sides of the exhibit you can see pathways going going around and then going to the sides these pathways actually make a circle around the zoo that will take you to all the exhibits if you keep following them you'll see other exhibits ofcourse the exhibits have signs with facts about the animals in the exhibits for education there are also trash cans along the path way with occasional vending machines at the back of the zoo you could see 3 buildings a fairly big building that looked like an office and a small that was where the veterinarian works on animals and a storage building, all in all the zoo is beyond simple with the only zoo close to appleton you would think it'll atleast have a decent popularity but it's access is too limiting ofcourse this does not mean they don't have loyal and enthusiastic animal lovers that come by as the only other "zoo" if you can call it that is in the style of a park with very few animals ofcourse it's a lovely place but it can't satisfy some people that want to see a little more exotic animals such as grizzlies and a tiger yes drakes zoo has a tiger and a male and female grizzly the tigers exhibit taking up an entire acre and the grizzlies 2 acres luckily the 3 other species don't require as much space, the tiger was ofcourse the tiger cub drakes parents got from the shelter it was a Siberian tiger because what kind of tiger will an egotistical rich guy want other than a Siberian tiger and the two grizzlies were also from a shelter after its Wisconsin a state without much laws on owning exotic animals, the exhibit for the tiger is fairly straight forward it's rectangular and filled with trees and a lake it is surrounded by walls just big enough for the tiger to not escape and a glass infront of the feeding area and lake the grizzly exhibit is almost identical except it has a little man made mountain in it ofcourse the two grizzlies are highly territorial and don't interact unless it's the mating season or feeding both of these exhibits have a lot of privacy for the animals in them and toys to play with ofcourse the toys are infront the viewing area, as for the flamingo exhibit well it's not a exhibit the flamingos are let free at the front of the entrance to roam ofcourse a few feathers a taken to prevent them from escaping but they grow back fortunately the flamingos prefer to fly at night as for the last two exhibits they are the fennec foxs and ant eater exhibit both fairly small compared to the tiger and grizzly exhibit but big enough for the respective species to move around, play and explore, the bear and ant eater exhibit were at the left side of the zoo while the tiger and fennec foxs were at the right

As drake was thinking about the future an alarm rang in his office seeing it was 9am the time where works start drake made his way out his office walking through desks and computers after all the office building is where they keep documents and do paperwork drake made his way to the door leading out the window as he did the door opened and 7 people walked in both parties were stunned at suddenly seeing each other as the zoo keepers had to get keys that were kept in the office building and the veterinarian had to get the keys to the animal hospital as the 7 people came back to their senses they said "good morning boss" as they continued on their duty's some are zoo keepers some veterinarians and some sell tickets to go into the zoo, as the keepers hurriedly got the keys and left as it's almost time to feed to animals the veterinary a 35 year old woman named Mary was talking to drake "drake you look much better than before" said Mary as a close friend of drakes mom she cared for drake and so did all the employees that stayed after all they saw him grow up "yeah I've gotten better I can't let this place fall apart on me" said drake to Mary as they chatted for bit until Mary had to go to work leaving drake alone in the office building, with free time he decided to study all he could about the animals the zoo had to better care for them as drake was studying the keepers were feeding the animals ofcourse it's not like feeding a dog it's more dangerous especially for bears and tigers although the zoo practices hands off approach when feeding them in the morning in the after moon they sometimes have to do public feedings fortunately both bears and tigers were socialized with humans since they were baby's and were trained for public feedings
