Jen's Animal Adventure Bucket List
I grew up in a home full of animals. In addition to my human parents
and brother, my family included a dog, cats, a hamster, a guinea
pig, a rabbit, and fish. When I grew older, I had the privilege of
working with tigers, lions, leopards, grizzly bears, monkeys,
elephants, sea lions, dolphins, and killer whales, but I still have
more adventures on my Animal Adventure Bucket List.
I’ve personally had all of the experiences listed below except those
indicated by a *. Note that not all of the experiences that I’ve had
or wish to have are readily available to the general public.

P.S. My novel WILD ANIMAL SCHOOL was inspired by my animal adventures. You can find it at Amazon.com!
