Name: Chris Knowles

​

Experience: Chris has a lot of practical experience working with animals and has travelled around the world searching for the most incredible wildlife and habitats.

​

About: “I love working for ZooLab because I meet new people every day and get to see their reactions to the animals.

​

My favourite ZooLab animal is Rosie the Chilean rose tarantula. They exhibit advanced behaviour such as parental care but they are also one of the most primitive (oldest) spider groups. Tarantulas really are dinosaurs of the spider world!”

​

Interesting Fact: Chris has spent time living in rainforests all over the world and enjoy passing on the interesting stories about his adventures during workshops.
