People at the Zoo
Hilltop Safari Driver - Bob
The Hilltop Safari runs every day of the year, including Christmas Day, and only serious ice or snow can prevent its running, so I am out and about in all weathers. Having taken early retirement from a career in biological sciences, I was eager to find a part-time job where my presentation skills and passion for nature could be combined. That, plus my first rate driving skills, of course!
Carnivore Animal Keeper - David
Sometimes people mistakenly think that all an animal keeper does is feed, play and interact closely with the animals in the Zoo. However this could not be further from the truth!
