Had a perfect morning hopping around #WalkaboutAustralia at the @sdzSafariPark. Even made a new video for my #IGTV channel. Also learned from the keepers, the roos and wallabies are most active in the morning and late afternoon (around 4/4:30 PM) #ZooFact! . . . . . #greykangaroo #kangaroo #roo #sandiegozoo #safaripark #zoolife #visitsandiego #visitescondido #visitcalifornia #macropod #marsupial #sundayfunday (at San Diego Zoo Safari Park)

Why does the kookaburra laugh? Well, the joke’s on you - It’s not actually a laugh at all, it’s just the way they make their call. Click on the link in my bio to see a video with a kookaburra making its full call and learn some fun facts too!

Sorry not sorry. I smell like the only native North America marsupial because I love opossum cuddles! Thank you Bay Area & Sacramento media for all your warm and wonderful hospitality. Now it’s time to head back home to San Diego... Happily smelling like an opossum. . . . . . #BayArea #Sacramento #marsupial #opossum #walkaboutAustralia #sandiegozoo #safaripark #awesomeopossum #lovemyjob #smellyjob #sandiego #cuteface #gratitude

We had an outstanding first day on our #WalkaboutAustralia tour here in the Bay Area. Started with morning news that rolled into three live shows with kids and families at @google’s bring you kid to work day - great stuff! #FunFact there are about 21 species of cockatoo in the world. Peaches here is a Moluccan cockatoo, also known as a salmon crested cockatoo. And although her species is not native to Australia, she’s a wonderful ambassador for all cockatoos - many of which do live in Australia. . . . . . #cockatoo #moluccancockatoo #birdnerd #birdsofinstagram #ontour #mediatour #backstage #birdsofafeather #awesomeanimals #sandiegozoo #bayarea (at San Jose, California)

I know I am supposed to be focused on all things #WalkaboutAustralia for the new @sdzSafariPark exhibit... But come on!!! How can we NOT talk about North America’s very own marsupial too!? #AnimalFact: The opossum means you no harm and is ridiculously important to our ecosystems staying healthy. NO, they cannot carry rabies because their body temp is to low for rabies to thrive in their system. YES the will eat rodents, snakes AND ticks! We need them more than they need us! . . . . . #opossum #awesomeanimals #savingspecies #wildlifeeducation #urbanwildlife #backyardwildlife #zookeeper #babyanimals #babyanimal #marsupials (at San Diego, California)

Turning 34 was better than expected. True - getting older feels scary, but a mindset focused on what’s positive & what’s possible🎈(even when that seems hard to do), IS what keeps us looking & feeling young, empowered, powerful & able to materialize our thoughts. ..... ..... THANK YOU SO MUCH to the friends who thought of me & sent me good wishes. Especially since I know how busy everybody is! My world & the world itself, is better with amazing & thoughtful people like them in it! Thank you to my INCREDIBLE husband♥️ who went out of his way to make possible everything I wished for on #mybday & succeeded 🦏🦒🐘🐅🦓 & thank you to the online friends I’ve been blessed to connect with over the past years, who commented & DM’d me. ..... .....
