All animals naturally carry a range of micro-organisms, some of which can be transmitted to humans where they can cause illness. Some animals also have the potential to cause harm through biting or scratching. Therefore it is essential that those taking part in our Experiences follow any instructions closely. As with all zoos there are work related activities being carried out which may present a risk if these guidelines are not followed.
