About: “Working for ZooLab means every day is very different and extremely interesting. I also like working with a wide range of ages, and hearing the funny questions we get asked about the animals.

​

My favourite ZooLab animal is Terry, the giant African millipede. He loves to tickle peoples’ hands with all his legs during workshops and loves to eat melon and cucumber.”

Interesting Fact: Heather lived in South Africa for two years working with baboons, penguins and Vervet monkeys. While at the Vervet Monkey Foundation she lived in a tent for a over year!
