Maria has asked that I also post on this weblog from time to time.
My job at the Cryptidery is to organize the feeding of the creatures. I also help Maria with research. Information on the creatures we house is often hard to find. We sometimes have to learn about them after we have acquired them.
We try to gather as much information as we can before we acquire them so that we can care for them as well as possible and keep ourselves safe as well. Jose will sometimes spend days or weeks following a creature before capturing it to gather information on its chosen habitat, food, and abilities.
Sometimes your reports help us. When you submit a report through the website about a strange creature you have observed, it is best to tell us everything you have noticed, even if it seems unimportant. When we had visitors come in with information, we would often ask a lot of questions, but this is more difficult through the internet. Photographs and drawings can also be useful.
However, it is important to always keep your distance from these creatures. These are not domestic animals. They may be dangerous. Do not put yourself in danger to get a photograph. Do not follow the creature. Some of them have above-average senses and may react negatively if they feel threatened. Leave the potentially dangerous work to Jose.
Thank you for reading.
