Let's Talk About: November

Welcome to our new team member!

Meet Abbie, ZooLab’s new Worthing Ranger. She started training October 2019.

“I love being able to disprove previous misconceptions/fears of animals - it is so rewarding seeing people's faces when they realise an animal isn't actually scary.”

Interesting Fact - Abbie once trained a chicken to complete an obstacle course!
