The Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha, Nebraska. I was a penguin keeper and I loved my job. Yes, I scrubbed bird poo and scuba dove with penguins. Did they have names? Yes. Did I have a favorite? Yes, her name was Rudy, she was a Gentoo and she was ruthless. Nice one day and biting me just above the rubber boot the next. She reminded me of myself; mood = unpredictable at times. Then there was King Tut. Cuddly and probably didn't know he was a penguin. Seven years had gone by since I worked here and thanks to my friend Brian, I always get to visit them.
