Eeeeven though one of them would stick his little muzzle through and ask for nose scritches, we still never, EVER went beyond that. Never entered that enclosure. And hoof cleaning was done under anesthetics |

Puck, Absolutely. Ours were in a verified zoo. With trained people, such as myself. |

My closest encounter with an injury was legit that stupid koala. Took a swipe right at my face. Not even the snakes tried to threaten me... |

@Puck, you gotta have good aim when you come from a place where lions and hyenas try to eat you. XD |
Versailles |
Ooooh yikes. Yeah, no, the ones I was with NEVER kicked. I mean, there's a chance if you made them mad, nobody ever entered the enclosure with them. Ever. But mostly they just wanted to engage in "training" and treats |
Glacier Bay Cove |
I felt the same way about the horse whisperer movie, I couldn't stand it when the horse got hit by the car |

Yeah, it was at a petting zoo and the owner kept buying zebras and chucking them out with the ponies and then trying to back them and being shocked when they didn't behave like a normal 3 year old Quarter Horse being backed lmfao |
Versailles |
Puck, LOL. Well, the ones I was with were okay. You could toss "zebra cookies" to them and they were content. Up close to the fence, you could even tell them "poke" and give them a vaccination. But not all zebras are like that, as I said. Always remain on the opposite side of the fence. You just never know, you know? |
FirstLightFarms |
Imma argue about the "zebras were alright" thing, the ones I worked with were dicks ð |

It's the same zoo I discovered I never want to interact with a koala again. They're just straight up mean, one of them took a swipe at my face and their claws can be veeery very nasty. I got lucky. |
Versailles |
There were a few wolves, yes. ANY other zoo, I'd say they'd be simple. But at the one I was at, they were soundproofed and couldn't see humans, because they needed to remain as wild as possible. So feeding them was horrendous |
Versailles |
Rhinos are actually very affectionate towards their keepers :) Hippos... Eeehhh? There's no affection but they're intelligent enough to do a few tricks |
Versailles |
Glacier, Of all of the ones I was around, I'd say literally the grizzlies. VERY intelligent, very cooperative, especially for popcorn. Could take blood from them and they wouldn't even flinch. Unless you want to go SUPER basic, in which case, I'd say go for the guinea pigs lol |
