Leave the world better than you found it

About Me

My name is Kheira Knoop. I have trained exotic animals for the last 16 years. I work for T.I.G.E.R.S. thats The Institute of Greatly Edangered and Rare Species it's an incredibly cool company check out all the amazing things we offer including apprenticeships at www.tigerfriends.com. Otherwise than that not much to say. I have been seeing someone for approx. 10 years and have helped him raise two beautiful kids. So you can say I have the prevalidge of being a mom without the nine months and weight gain. I love working the big cats, cuddling up to our chimpanzees hanging out with mastiffs ( my mastiff tyagi was the best dog a person could have had) and wolfhounds. I am trying to be a better person every day and I practice Kiritan to help me get there.

My Interests

I like to play the Harmonium and chant Kiritan, needle point, hike, bike, boat, be outdoors and read.

I'd like to meet:

Not sure I have met a lot of great people like Krishna Das, Sean Connery, Jay Leno, Eddie Murphy, Jim Carrey, Carmen Electra, Drew Barrymore, 98 degrees, Sabelle, Brittney Spears and lots of others. In the end I have met more people than I could have hoped to meet. I would still love to meet Mel Gibson, Richard Gear and a few others.

Love comedies and romance movies, some action and absolutely no horror or tramatic movies.

Books:

Heroes:

That's a hard one but I would have to say Fireman like my Dad, My Mom and people who put their necks out there or dedicate their lives for the benefit of others including policeman, Krishna Das, Sri Swami Satchidananda and the multitudes of others whose names I don't know.
