## About

Weekly keeper talks at the Brandywine Zoo, where animal keepers chat with visitors about the animals in their care. Topics and featured animals change from week to week, so there is always something new to learn. It is a short, easy addition to a zoo visit and suits families with kids who have questions about wild animals and how keepers look after them.
