Giraffe Keeper Goes to Africa! 🦒 Animal Care Team member Kirbie is swapping life at the zoo, from caring for our four Giraffes at Kingdom of the Wild to the vast open plains of our UmPhafa Private Nature Reserve.

Environmental enrichment is a vital part of the care we provide towards our animals here at Colchester Zoo. One of the most fun enrichment toys which challenges our Orangutans mentally and physically, is their puzzle feeder. 🦧 Our Animal Care Team fill the feeder with their favourite treats where Tiga, Mali and Tatu then enjoy the challenge to reach their favourite snacks. #ApeAwarenessMonth | Colchester Zoo
