#Spooktober Oct 11
Describe a time when you caught an animal staring at you.
I used to be a zookeeper, so this happened a lot. 😆 I regularly had an audience. Harry the patas monkey had a mirror hanging outside his behind-the-scenes cage which he used to follow your movements when you'd passed beyond his sight. Joey the mandrill sometimes got an erection when he spotted me outside his exhibit during public hours--made for a not so family friendly display so I had to sneak around to check on him
