There may have been a couple of others who were younger but I don't think they really used the site any more, at least I haven't noticed them around for a while.

Like Michael says post as many pictures, stories, sightings as you like as long as they're wildlife related [;)][:D]

Thank You for your comments
I was hoping to be the youngest hehe.[8D]

Yeah the animal care course is ok, they base it on small animals like rabbits, hamsters, snakes ect. They bore me, im hoping on the 3rd year course which is called 'Animal management' will be based on the wild animals, which is what im really interested on, definatly the big cats, i love big cats. I start the 3rd year course on the 31st august and im so nervous about it as i be meeting new people and the work load is goin to be massive. But i be studying at Bristol Zoo.
I been studying for 2 years and i have another year or 2 left (depending on how long i want to do the course for).

I could never be a vet, i hate blood and the fact that i be cutting up an animal freeks me out, i throw up. When i first started the course i wanted to be an RSPCA Inspector but then decided i want to work with the bigger/wild animals so decided to be a zoo keeper, but then i watched 'The Lion Man' which inspired me to work with the cats and now i want to be an Conservationist.
Does anyone know of The Lion Man, does anyone watch the show???

My photos are only off trees though and some seagulls in flight. I have'nt be able to get out and get some good pictures unfortunatly.

At the moment i'm reading 'Big Cats, Kingdom of Might'. All about big cats. It's great.
What Wildlife books have you read??? I love to get some more wildlife books. They're the only books im interested in at the moment.
Is anyone interested in Big Cats at all???

I'm currently making some videos about Big Cats, i'm putting them on Youtube, there already alot on there at the moment. My username on youtube is staceysimba.

So sorry for writing so much, umm i hope your able to read it all[:o]. In real life im actually really shy.
Sorry for spelling mistakes, i was never the top speller at school, and plus i'm typring really fast.

Thanks again [:)]

hey stacey if you want some good wildlife books then try "Gerald Durrell" his are all about wild animals and he has a writing tech ique that so far no author has been able to beat.

Welcome to the forum. I am also a fan of big cats and African wildlife which we seem to be losing at an alarming rate!!

Welcome:

I married an African Wildcat [:D]

Never lose a "Healthy Respect" for big cats, they are like the Ocean and Electricity... They have no concience [;)]
