Most people have no idea of the hard work and worry that go into the collecting of those interesting birds and animals that they pay to see in the zoo. One of the questions that is always asked of me is 36 I became an animal collector in the first 37 .The answer is that I have always been interested in animals and zoos. According to my parents, the first word I was able to say with any 38 was not the traditional “mamma” or “daddy”,39 the word “zoo”, which I would 40 over and over again with a exciting 41 until someone, in groups to 42 me up, would take me to the zoo. When I 43 a little older, we lived in Greece and I had a great 44 of pets, ranging from owls(鹰) to seahorses, and I spent all my spare time 45the countryside in search of fresh specimens to 46 to my collection of pets.
47 on I went for a year to the City Zoo, as a student 48 , to get experience of the large animals, such as lions, bears, bison and ostriches,49 were not easy to keep at home. When I left, I 50 had enough money of my own to be able to 51 my first trip and I have been going 52 ever since then. Though a collector's job is not an easy one and is full of 53 ,it is certainly a job which will appeal 54 all those who love animals and 55 .
