Hello, I just joined ZooChat. I stumbled upon this forum while doing research and liked it enough to join the membership.
My initial interest was with finding a projected date for the opening of SDZ's WAP, and came across quite a few interesting comments. I'm not a zoo vet, as some might think, but an author with the chosen pen name of "ZooDoc," which comes from one of my fictional characters who does happen to be a zoo vet. I hope none of you are offended by this name choice. There are quite a few real zoo docs out there in cyber space and in the real world, and I applaud all of you for your dedication and hard work.
Ever since I was a kid, I've had a fascination with animals. I was known in the community as one of those kids who was always nursing ailing animals back to health. I fondly recall dropper feeding a beautiful, injured ruby-throated hummingbird until it was able fly away. I did likewise with a coot and a seagull. The seagull was especially cool. Whenever it was almost strong enough to fly away, I took it outside and tossed it into the air and was ready to catch it, but it actually flew four or five feet before it landed. The next day, it flew about ten feet. And the next day, it flew away. I can only imagine how exciting it must be to release a restored eagle or condor! I'm now known in this community north of Sacramento as the Raccoon Man.
I am a Diamond Member of the San Diego Zoological Society, as well as a few other wildlife conservation organizations, including the BOS and The Wilderness Classroom. I love and respect what all of you have done and are doing out there to protect and conserve the natural beauty of our living planet.
Anyway, I've been babbling enough. If anyone wants to check out my web site, please go to ZooDoc Mainpage and you will learn more about me and what prompted me to write War Star Rising! The Legend of Toucan Moon. Also I'm on MySpace under "ZooDoc", and a member of Author Nation and My Writers Circle, as well as The Belize Forums.
Looking forward to meeting some of you and reading many of your threads.
