Jungle Joe is cooking something up this week - but it's not the kind of specialties that you might be think of. Let's see what he's up to... (Jungle Joe, KX News) Jungle Joe back out at the Roosevelt Park Zoo. Today, not only looking at all of the animals they have here, we get to feed them! ...and you can too! You may remember meeting Nigel the pelican from one of our first segments - New at the Zoo. Now that we're more than just aquaintances, I thought it would be nice for the two of us to get together for dinner - a fish dinner! Instead of eating, I'll be serving the food today. (Dana Pritschet , Zoo Director) We started this last month: a feeding station for him! So visitors that come to the zoo can come down, it costs $1 to feed the pelican. He gets fed fish everyday, so you pay a dollar, you put on some plastic gloves, and you throw fish at him and he'll catch them from you! (Jungle Joe, KX News) The gloves they give you to put on and I'm putting one on. He likes his food sanitary, doesn't he? You never know where my fingers have been... Nigel, I'm putting the glove on, don't worry! Look at how wide his mouth is! It looks like me eating - watch this, watch his mouth. Ready Nigel? Good catch! You didn't chew your food. He doesn't, does he? It just goes right in? (Zoo Staff Member) I'm going to give you a fish and you want to hold it over here. (Noah Herrington / Nigel's Favorite Chef) He caught it again! (Joe) What did you think, did you have a good time? (Noah) Yeah! (Joe) Have you ever been close to a big bird like that? (Noah) No. (Jungle Joe, KX News) After you feed the pelican, you can then have the chance to stop over to the giraffe feeding station - which is a very popular event here at the zoo. (Dana Pritschet , Zoo Director) This is the second summer we've been doing a giraffe feeding station and that opens daily from 1:30 to 2:00. You get to get on board, onto the deck right up close and personal with the giraffes, and you get to actually hand feed the giraffes! It's a once in a lifetime experience! (Jungle Joe, KX News) So I get the big one, I guess! Does he know he has a little extra? He has something hanging from his... Hanging out from your... No, nevermind. That's fine. From feeding the giraffes, to tossing the entree to the pelican - you can do it here at the Roosevelt Park Zoo! For KX News, I'm Jungle Joe. « Less
