Turkeys, ducks, carp, geese, and foxes.

Back in 1996 we got a call about a raccoon at Gemini. I wasn't quite sure how that fit into the job description of a landscaper, but we went anyway. It was just before opening, maybe around 8:30 AM.

When we got to the bottom of the lift hill, we realized the raccoon was on the Gemini - as in at the top of the lift hill, between the two tracks. Three of us hiked up the hill to assess the situation. That raccoon ran all over the place trying to avoid us and ended up plunging 125 feet, hitting a beam on the way down. The result? Well, he sure didn't appear hurt as he run away once he got to the ground. Tough little guy, I suppose.

The monkey got loose from "Jungle Larrrys'" the summer of '79 and management decided to shoot the monkey as they thought that a monkey on the loose in Frontier Town was not such a great idea. It was killed and alot of the FT employees showed their dismay by wearing T-shirts that loudly proclaimed" They shoot monkeys dont they!" with a stick figure of a monkey getting killed.

There used to be alot of turkeys behind the Frontier Inn but I think that civilization has moved them out so to speak.

Thank god those nasty geese are gone!

I hate those possums...There was one last year that nearly scared the crap out of me. I was at Gemini gatehouse at 10:30pm when one came running across the crossing from the woods. Fike had to nearly catch me from falling over into the gatehouse. Then there was the raccoon this year that chased me off of the train tracks while I was trying to do a track walk. The engine boys never did let me live that one down.

Dont try to pet the possum! It is not cuddly and cute like a kitten.

Yes that turkey at the petting zoo was abit large, the goats looked like they could be a handful if you turned your back on them.

At the Six Flags park I used to work at, we had some cats. I wonder what the hell they did all day when the park was open.

Cats are omnivores, in otherwords nature/god endowed them with a stomache that will alllow them to eat mice, bugs and grain. Feral cats are nocturnal by nature and help keep the rodent population in check. If you have a cat and you wonder why it vomits it is because the stomache contents foams up and that is a defense mechanism that as a domestic feline owner-3, that is no fun to clean up!

My kids took a picture of me pretending to hump one of the lambs..yes I was could have blown a .30. Hey they have cute eyelashes! I do not think that turkey would have tasted very good on my dinner table as well considering the trash it ate! The animals are rather cute, too bad you guys dont raise kittens!

Me sick?I did not shoot that poor monkey that got away from Jungle Larrys' animal torture center! I was simply lampooning what some fraternities at OSU actually have to do for membership! LOL. BTW my children did not appreciate the humour, they felt rather sorry for the goat that I swapped spit with!

Spock, why were you swaping spit with goats? I bet you would think twice after watching the goat go to the bathroom then drink his own urin, as many of ours did.
