Coronavirus: 'It is a worrying time to be running a zoo'

Keepers have been isolating near animals in zoos as attractions have had to bring in measures to care for their creatures amid the coronavirus crisis.

But the unknown length of the shutdown would make planning difficult, explained its chief executive Dr Sharon Redrobe.Animals at Twycross Zoo are getting"extra enrichment" activities while the guests are away, said Dr Sharon Redrobe She also praised the dedication of its keepers, who had so far continued to work throughout the lockdown.

Birmingham's Sea Life Centre relies on tankers of water being brought up from the south coast to provide a natural environment for its aquatic inhabitants. "It is business as usual but we really miss seeing people already, it is odd being in the building without guests," Mr Rudd said.
