Week 5: Up Close and Personal

from Abi Clarke: Zookeeper in Training

When the team asked Abi if there were any animals she was scared of, she said “Crocodile, obviously.” So today… she’s meeting one. Kind of. Maybe. It’s complicated. Is it a crocodile? A gharial? A false gharial? You’ll have to listen to find out. But that's just the start. Until now, Abi’s had it pretty easy. Otters, sloths, and casually lobbing grapes at a cassowary. But the real work is about to begin. She’s elbow-deep in rhino poo and scrambling up cliffs for ibis eggs, all under the watchful eye of a vulture called Ethyl. See some of Abi’s adventures at Chester Zoo on Instagram and TikTok. Find out more about the incredible work at Chester Zoo, here. New episodes every week. Music courtesy of BMG Production Music
