Wild Life Spring 2010 Cover

Spring is in the air

Welcome to the spring issue of Wild Life.
Our second issue of Wild Life has arrived hot on the heels of its predecessor, bringing with it an exciting range of new stories and events at our Zoos.
We celebrate the warmer months with a visit behind the scenes at the Seal Show to discover the benefits of animal training and how our keepers and seals work together to create their amazing show. Lifting the lid on fears and phobias, we take an in-depth look at our Fearless at Taronga courses and their remarkable success in helping people overcome their reptile and spider phobias.
