Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that gosintosthe collecting of those fascinating birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. ^rR1ZVY
One of the questions that is always asked of me is __1__ I became an animal collector in the first __2__ . \##zR_%
The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. w>&aEv/f
According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any __3__ was not the conventional “mamma” or “daddy”,__4__ the word “zoo”, which I would __5__over and over again with a shrill __6__ until someone, insgroupsto __7__ me up, would take me to the zoo. dh\'<|\K
When I __8__ a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great __9__ of pets, ranging from owls to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time __10__ the countryside in search of fresh specimens to __11__ to my collection of pets.__12__ on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student __13__ , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches,__14__ were not easy to keep at home. 7vKK%H_P
When I left, I __15__ had enough money of my own to be able to __16__ my first trip and I have been going __17__ ever since then. bjW]bRw
Though a collector’s job is not an easy one and is full of __18__ ,it is certainly a job which will appeal __19__ all those who love animals and __20__ . St9?RD{4;
