“Anyone interested in the sale need to have some
experience of keeping exotic animals, but not necessarily from a zoo background
as the staff are all experienced. I would expect them to have at least some
interest or experience and to research what running a zoo actually entails. The
staff are invaluable. The zoo keepers will do the actual feeding and daily
care, the owners will learn as they go, depending on their past zoo keeper
expertise,” she said.
