I have visited ZooDoo in the past and quite enjoyed it. I wish I could apply for the jobs, but I don't have that skill-set. The free 'safari' ride was great, by the way: the ostrich bit my hand. PS* Are two positions being advertised, or will the Senior Keeper also be a Tour Guide?
One position available with combined duties - Zookeeper / Tour Guide. I'm very glad to hear that you enjoyed your visit to Zoodoo Wildlife Park. Apologies for the Ostrich, they have terrible table manners
Yeah he didn't care whether he was biting the bag of food or my hand. http://www.zoochat.com/1596/zoodoo-wildlife-park-211857/ My wife was a bit braver and decided to feed the camel. http://www.zoochat.com/1596/zoodoo-wildlife-park-211861/
