The Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens (HKZBG) will hold a "Meet-the-Zookeepers" activity for two consecutive days on March 31 and April 1. The event will allow members of the public to learn more about the animals in the gardens and the daily work of the zookeepers in taking care of the animals.
 
     During the event, the gardens' zookeepers will share with visitors their experiences of daily primate and bird care and animal conservation. Visitors will also have an opportunity to learn more about the daily habits of the gardens' animals as well as interesting stories about them. The animals will include Bornean orangutans, buff-cheeked gibbons, emperor tamarins, golden-headed lion tamarins, black and white ruffed lemurs, ring-tailed lemurs, American flamingos and red-crowned cranes.
 
     The activity is one of the programmes of HK SciFest 2018 and admission is free. Interested parties can assemble at 10am or 2pm at the information counter of the HKZBG's Education and Exhibition Centre. For enquiries please call 2530 0154 during office hours.
