Hello everyone! For this blog I am going to write about one of our giraffe boys, Robin, and his fantastic progress with training. He has come along leaps and bounds since the last training update. So, like a very proud mumma, I want to share it with you all! For anyone who isn’t familiar with…
I present to you today a selection of gorgeous photos of my colleagues and I posing as some of our animals in a photoshoot I’ve been working on for a few weeks. George did a fantastic job as Molly, she also took very little persuading to take part, 10/10. Did you know? Orangutans are semi-solitary…
