With an impressive level of health care – including general anaesthetic health checks, dentistry, and a world class vet team, our animals are living much longer and richer lives.
As you may know, animals hide or mask pain and illness, due to an instinctive drive to protect themselves against predators. Here at the zoo it is the skill of our keepers who, through working closely with the animal, are able to tell ‘when something is up’ - it is then, along with our vet team, they can ensure each animal has a positive quality of life.
