My nan’s spare room.

I’d be in charge of the bird house.

It’s lovely and warm, you’ve got the sounds of birdsong all day and they are beautiful to look at.

I’d want a wide brimmed hat as PPE though in case of aerial bombardment.

You could put them down your top to keep you warm too.

Any of the great apes - chimps, orangutans, gorillas etc

Find them fascinating to watch, can relate to them as our closest genetic cousins and there's a level of interaction too

I am too much like Jim from Friday Night Dinner when he jumps with fear at his dogs (Wilson & Milson)

I would like the giraffes, they are beautiful, graceful, elegant animals.

Love the big cats and tigers, used to be a tour guide in the zoo teaching little kids classes and stuff about animals, I loved it. We had amur leopards, tigers and lynx and a few really unusual animals too. Love that you can teach them about the environment and conservation as well as all about the animals. Really love birds of prey too

This is a nice lovely zoo where they wish to be.

It’s like the open prisons of zoos.

When I was in France on holiday many years ago we took our young daughter to the zoo in Palmyre. As we approached the giraffe enclosure one of them by the fence reached over and took a baguette out of a picnic basket that a French Dad was holding. It then disappeared, munching as it went. It was such a slapstick moment that the crowd started clapping and laughing and the poor Dad stood there not knowing what to do.

I worked for a summer looking after birds in a small zoo. Took ages in the morning chopping up their fruit and the others would eat minging blocks of fish. They were also very indifferent to their keepers.

I would probably look after something a little friendlier. The wallaby’s were fun.

Love to look after either the large cats (lions, tigers) or gorillas! Think of I could do it all over again, I’d have become a vet, that said, I’d find the euthanasia part to difficult to handle.

So maybe a zoo keeper should have been the choice? Knowing my luck, I’d have been stuck shoveling pig sh**!
