A year ago we talked to Sarah-Jayne, a vet from Marwell Zoo in the UK. We talk to her again and ask what effect the pandemic has had on the animals, conservation and the viability of zoos. We ask: • Were there any physical health issues in the animals due to covid? • What effects has lack of visitors had on zoo animals’ behavior? • Do zoo animals show normal behavior anyway because most are born in captivity? • What is being done to get animals used to visitors again. • Has the lockdown changed the type of work you do? • Have the closures had any effect on the conservation projects zoos perform? • Has it put species that are now only found in zoos at a greater risk of extinction? • What effect has covid had on the viability of zoos in general? • Have any zoos had to close and if so, what happens to their animals? • When Marwell Zoo reopens what differences will the visitors find?
