Burundi to Gombe

Episode 2 - A Day in the Life of a Keeper


Listen Later

Ever wondered what it takes to take care for chimpanzees in a zoo setting?

In this episode we join Katie Hooker, Senior Primate Keeper at Taronga Zoo Sydney, for a day in the life of a keeper. We’ll explore everything from the morning breakfast routine to the use of tools by chimpanzees – one of the early observations famously reported by Dr Jane Goodall during her time in  the forests of Gombe.
