Wow, us Uk'ers are quite a distance in front!!

I did a quick google search and came back with a couple of forums - but didn't find anything that I thought was particularly user friendly or active.

Let me know if you don't find anything good out there - I might be able to find time to create another forum (my wife is fairly interested in the topic of organic food and gardening - although she probably wouldn't contribute).

On the topic of new forums - I'm considering creating a forum for nature photography - which is one of my other passions.

Thanks for the offer Sim, I'll see how I go with finding forums. Zoobeat has always been very user friendly and I thank you very much for it.

I remember when I first joined, the more times you posted the higher position you were given . I don't think i made it to junior keeper. I think after 100posts you were given the rank of senior zookeeper. I wonder what zoo boy would be now with all his posts.

I see that my 450 posts has significantly boosted the Canadian content!!

It's interesting to learn about all the different age ranges that are present here at ZooBeat. There are folks in their teens going to school, others in their twenties or thirties who are fairly settled in life, and then still many more in their forties or older who still love chatting about zoos and wildlife. It would be great if everyone listed their age, as it would present yet another fascinating statistic about this site.

Am I the oldest member of this forum?
I'm 62 . Yet when I visit a new zoo I'm as excited as an 8 year old (Pathetic!)

I mightn't be as old as you but i get the same feeling.

I was going to say,"Make sure there's a file in it!" but I better not; you might think I mean it!

I'm about to catch up ARA--I'll be 62 this summer. I've worked in a zoo for 22 years and volunteered before that. I enjoy this forum immensely and learn something new every day. It's especially interesting to hearthe different perspectives from all over the world.
Even after all these years I get pretty excited when I visit a new zoo. Showing up for work every morning in the snow and ice is, however, a bit of a different story I get to work around 6:30 AM and maintenance hasn't usually gotten to this part of the zoo yet! However, going out to the kangaroo barn and getting a nuzzle or two from some of the mob makes it all worthwhile.

I'm only a bit behind you about 45 years or so and i work in a supermarket but hope to work at a zoo when i leave school.
