Darks must be lurking.

In addition to someone who has experience with animals, we can also use someone who is a medical doctor.

Jamestown (jâmz´toun´), former village, SE Va., first permanent English settlement in America; est. May 14, 1607, by the London Company on a peninsula (now an island) in the James R.; named for the reigning English king, JAMES I. Disease, starvation, and attacks by Native Americans decimated the settlement, and the remaining colonists prepared to return; but new settlers and supplies were sent, and Lord DE LA WARR arrived in 1610.

John SMITH was an early colonial leader. John ROLFE began the cultivation of tobacco there in 1612; in 1614 he married POCAHONTAS, assuring peace with the indigenous people. The first representative government in the colonies met there (1619); Jamestown was capital of VIRGINIA through most of the 17th cent.

The village was almost entirely destroyed during Bacon's Rebellion (1676; BACON, NATHANIEL). The site, which contains the old church tower (c.1639), some original gravestones, and many replicas of the early settlement, is mainly administered by the U.S. government.
