Drusillas Park keepers take part in 'Zoolympics'
The competition is now open to park visitors
As the Tokyo Olympics draw to a close this weekend, the team at Drusillas Park in East Sussex have been taking part in their own Zoolympics!
Keepers have been seeing if they can climb as high as a gibbon, run as fast as a cheetah and balance as long as a flamingo.
“What started as a bit of light-hearted fun, and a tip of the hat to the efforts of Team GB, has actually been an hilarious team bonding day.” explains Head Zookeeper Gemma Romanis “Our Keepers are often so busy behind the scenes of the Zoo, it was a great to enjoy the Park and see that they are just as wild as our animals!”
Gemma continued: “Unsurprisingly, we all got a little more competitive than perhaps planned, so the Park team started pitting us against each other and even arranged a medal ceremony for us to finish the day. We had lots of fun, but I’m not sure any of us will be swapping Drusillas for athletic fame just yet.”
The Zoolympics Trail is now fully open for all visitors.
