068 - It's Orangutan, Not Orangutang, Dang It! with Melissa Peterson of The Memphis Zoo
from Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation · host Rossifari
Today, the Safari heads back to Memphis, Tennessee, to talk to Melissa Peterson, primate keeper and all-around wonderful human! Melissa has been on the podcast before, as she was the keeper who taught us all about bonobo sex on Rossifari After Dark Part 2! Now she's back for a longer, and less adult, conversation about all the primates she takes care of at the zoo, such as orangutans, gorillas, chimps, and yes, even a little bit more about those crazy bonobos! We also talk about her amazing volunteer work, her unique path to zookeeping, and how being a twin has given her a unique perspective on the world!
