ANIMAL fans Carl and Jennifer Wyatt, of Droitwich, became zoo keepers for the day at Dudley Zoological Gardens.

The couple chose to work with rare lemurs as part of the Keeper for a Day experience run by the award-winning tourist attraction. Mr Wyatt said: “I had a really great day.” Keepers get to discover what happens behind the scenes at the gardens and help staff clean, care and feed endangered species. This is followed by learning more about the zoo’s larger animals, including giraffes and Sumatran tigers.

Dudley Zoological Gardens chief executive Peter Suddock said: “Not only is it a unique day to remember, working alongside some of the rarest animals in the world, but funds raised through the scheme support exciting conservation and animal projects at DZG.”
