As a keeper many of your behavioral observations will relate to feeding activity, as you are present before, immediately after or during the presentation of food. It is natural to notice that many, but not all, primates pick up food with their hands as a normal means of eating and that gibbons do not lap water like a cat. You may also notice hoofed stock with long horns or antlers may have trouble reaching a feeding trough placed too close to a fence. It is not much work to solve that problem by moving the trough to a more appropriate location but sometimes it does not get done. A keeper should record such problems and make recommendations for their solution.
