Life is a Zoo

See what visitors don't get to see when they visit a zoo: the animals as individuals through Natalie Boog's delightful and quirky photographs and Catharine Retter's first hand stories. They take you up close and personal, revealing each animal's funny foibles, favourite habits, emotional needs, life history and behind-the-scenes stories told by their keepers.

You will meet 50 animal personalities including:
Parum, a kangaroo that lives in trees, can walk along a vine and builds a nest high in the trees.
Amira the white rhino who loves head butting contests with her best friend, Gertie the goat.
Kluet, the Peter Pan of animals who will never quite grow up while there is a dominant male orang-utan within hearing, but who loves his seductive best friend, Willow-the-Pillow.
Suzy the hippo, a bellyflopping killer ballerina.
Zarafa the baby giraffe who stayed up past her bedtime to watch the city's bright lights.
Lulu, a chimpanzee who wore tutus, rollerskated and raged in a previous life, had to learn how to be a chimp, and has now become a respected elder in her chimp community.
