Description
Come behind the scenes at an Australian zoo as the zookeepers share amazing stories, for children aged 9 to 12. Why are 1000 trees needed for every koala in a zoo? How do you check a tree-kangaroo's pouch for joeys? Why is a wombat's poo square-shapped? And how do dogs help look after 'extinct' bandicoots? In these behind-the-scenes stories, you'll discover what it's really like to be a zookeeper today and learn fascinating new facts about some of Australia's most loveable and rare creatures. Real zookeepers share their funny and moving adventures, from looking after an orphaned koala to saving tiny frogs from extinction. Many Australian animals are endangered, and in this book you'll also discover how you can help save them - it's easier than you think!
