Macedon zoologist Chris Humphrey

A CAPTIVE breeding program in the Macedon Ranges is providing hope of saving critically tiger quolls, masked owls and sand pythons. Macedon zoologist Chris Humfrey will share his successes in a new reality show, Chris Humfrey's Wild Life, to be shown on the ABC next year. More details at macedonleader.com.au

I took an invertebrate zoology class and lab in college as an elective because I needed the credits to graduate. The lab was ridiculously hard. We had to memorize every single body part of all these invertebrate animals an dwhat their function was. One time, we had to learn 100 bugs for a practical. It was close to impossible. So our professor gave us an extra credit project. We had to dress up like an invertebrate and talk about it for 15 points extra credit. I was a lady bug but no one filmed me so I just have all the other students in the lab presenting theirs. The best was Shana, who did the fly rap. "I'm so Fly!"
