Today, the Safari heads to England, to speak with Becky Whitelegg, a zookeeper at Flamingoland. Come for the animal facts, stay for the fun accent! Becky talks about some incredible mongooses, the weight loss plan of a warty pig, and so much more. We also discuss some of the differences of zookeeping in the UK and the US, what accreditation looks like across the pond, and so much more. I admit it...I just really wanted to write "across the pond" in these show notes!
