Without problems happening can you put in one cage white gorillas, black gorillas, and jewish gorillas?

All non-human primates got a white skin..

there is a ger-man chick at my office, nastiest, ugliest bitch inside/out I have ever met. Are all ger-man chicks like this or is she the exception? (serious question) fyi, she is also obese

You are confused. What you describe is not a ger-man, but a ger-woman..

Tbf, working at a zoo has to be my dream job. I'd love to work with reptiles and birds of prey.

We're there any animals that you hated working with?

Fish were pretty boring as I said you do a lot of cleaning windows and cleaning tanks from the top - I didn't had the passion I have now for aquariums so I kinda didn't like working there.
But I loved the reptiles, we had all kinda snakes and lizards - Rattlesnakes - Cobras - anacondas - its a lot of action.
The thing is you always do stuff were you either catch yourself in the middle or after it go - THE FUCK AM I DOING UP HERE?!?! Like you clean the environment of the wild goats and its high up its early in the morning a bit frosty and you go... uh better not fall here.

Bird of pray are so hard to work with and requires a very good understanding of the actual animals, they are very sensitive and its so hard to get them breeding.

Is it common for zookeepers to marry the animals they take care of?

It does but it doesn't last: see Alex23. It's textbook for this.

Tell you a great story which happened before I started as a zoo keeper, we had a salt water croc, it was very very big and fat - they get quite fat if they don't move much and are not put on a diet.

Like i said before most visitors have a very narrow minded and uneducted idea what animals are "supposted" todo, they cannot wrap their head around the fact that these animals live their, in their mind the animals are there to perform for them and at 18:00 Pm they pack their shit and head home.

So a female visitor was unhappy that the salt water croc wasn't moving - so she started throwing pennies at the crock, which the big boy didn't even feel.
She had her purse around her neck and it was dangling inside the enclosure when she was trying to throw more pennies.
Of course she didn't know the speed these crocs can move and that they can litteraly throw their upper body half of their size up in the air.

That fucking crock grabbed her handbag faster than she could react - WAMMMM - and she was hanging half way in and out - the crock furiously pulling and rocking.
She only survived because a zookeeper close by was keeping an eye on her and like any good zookeeper he had a knife and ZIPPPPPP!!!
cut the handbag.
She had brusing and all but was unhurt - the crock ate the whole handbag like a big fuck you - Papers driving license money the whole lot.

Story would have been better if the croc performed a death roll and choked her unconscience with the strap of her bag.

That is awesome. But why wouldn't some sort of greeter make sure people understand that they are invading on the animals home and that most of the time they just rest etc? I use to go to the San Diego zoo and it seemed around every corner, they were educating the public on the animals.
