A KENYAN with strong educational links to Chester Zoo has been experiencing life with 7,000 animals first hand.
Ephantus Mugo, an Education Officer from the Laikipia Wildlife Forum in Kenya, has been spending three weeks at Chester Zoo which sponsors an education bus at Laikipia.
Ephantus drives the bus to surrounding schools, taking the children out to visit wildlife.
During his time at Chester, Ephantus worked on all of the major animal sections, including giraffes and carnivores, shadowed the presenters and teachers and visited local attractions.
