Keeper Knowledge and Talks

Our keepers and educators have an in-depth knowledge of the animals in the park. They engage and interact with visitors to promote an understanding and involvement with the issues and events affecting the collection.

Keeper talks include information on the day to day care of our animals, their diets and habitats. The whole wildlife park creates opportunities for close contact and appreciation of the needs of the animal world, and encourages visitors to develop a commitment to endangered species
