#20: That Fishy Smell
As if cleaning out a duck pond wasn’t bad enough, this zookeeper had to deal with a whole train carriage’s worth of stinky clothes? That’s some serious dedication right there! Working with animals that smell like dead fish all day must be tough. I love penguins as much as the next person.
But I don’t think I could handle smelling like fish all the time. However, that’s the price you pay for working with animals. It’s not always glamorous, but it’s definitely rewarding. After a while, that fishy smell becomes a part of your personal brand. If you want to be a zookeeper, you gotta put up with this smell.
