Perth Zoo animal antics for children at Ocean Keys shops

Lucy JarvisNorth Coast Times

CHILDREN have been learning about animals and playing vet in Clarkson these school holidays.

While there were no live animals on display, zookeepers from Perth Zoo hosted informative tours of moving animatronic displays at Ocean Keys shopping centre last week.

They also ran daily ‘junior vet hospital’ sessions where children could diagnose and treat stuffed animal toys.
