How long have you been at Adelaide Zoo and what animals do you work with?
I started volunteering at Adelaide Zoo in 2008, and started working in the Children’s Zoo in 2009. I predominantly work with the Giant Pandas and Red Pandas, but also work with the primates as well.
How long have you been working with the Giant Pandas?
I started working with Wang Wang and Fu Ni in early 2012.
What is your favourite thing about Fu Ni?
Fu Ni has a lot of character and can be very playful!
What is your favourite thing about Wang Wang?
Wang Wang is a real sweetheart and can be very affectionate.
What’s your funniest or favourite Giant Panda moment?
There’s nothing like a good game of chasey with Fu Ni (with keepers on the outside of the mesh, not inside!), or a bout of bubble blowing with Wang Wang. Wang Wang’s favourite bubble scents is strawberries and cream.
The pandas birthday celebrations are always a blast, and certainly the annual breeding season, while busy, is such an exciting time for the panda team.
