Hi everyone

My first week as a Carnivore Keeper at Adelaide Zoo was incredible, meeting all the animals of the Big Cat round and learning how to care for them. Don't tell the other big cats but our Persian Leopard “Cubba” has fast become my favourite cat on the round!

Cubba was born here so has seen his fare share of new faces at Adelaide Zoo, and just like every keeper before me I have had to build up a relationship with him.

Hi, my name is Arliah and I am Carnivore Keeper at Adelaide Zoo. I am a fairly new keeper to the zoo and I am absolutely loving it.

At the moment I am working on the Big Cat round and have the pleasure of working with our African Lions, Sumatran Tigers, Servals, Persian Leopard, Fennec Foxes and Red Pandas.

Born to mum Kali and dad Marji on Boxing Day, the boy and two girls are the first Servals to be born at Adelaide Zoo.

Already showing off their wildcat nature, the young siblings are flashing their kitten-teeth and being pro-active in attaining nourishment.
