Jose here! Everyone’s favourite adventurer! I was barely in the door when a mighty excited Maria told me she’d put us on the internets. She wanted me to come introduce myself. As if you all don’t already know who I am!
I’ve just come back from capturing another silver chimera. If you’ve visited the Cryptidery before, you’ve seen our collection outside. They’re not normally part of the tour, not much to look at during the day really. Real shiny, though. This little guy had found his way into someone’s garden. I understand the grandmother of the visitor who reported him had paid a pretty penny for her “garden statue”. Never know where you might find one.
Travelling has been a bit more difficult this past year. I’ve been allowed to travel for business, but I’ve been avoiding the trains and planes. Lots more time spent driving than normal. But some zoos have reported that certain animals are susceptible to this virus. We don’t know which of our creatures might be able to get it, and we’d rather not find out if we can help it, so I’ve been doing everything I can to stay isolated.
That pretty much sums up my job around here. I never stay put for long if I can help it. When I’m here, I’m following up on anything that might lead to another creature. Your reports, news articles, the internets. Sometimes it takes quite a while to find anything credible to follow up on. Sometimes I tell Maria I’d better go follow up in person, just in case, just because I’m itching to get going again.
Remember, curiosity killed the cat (but you’re no cat)!
Jose
