Licence Number: 7906
Benjamin joined ZooLab in 2023. He works in Guildford and the surrounding areas.
Ben has worked as a zoo keeper at a college which provides animal based courses. He was head of the small mammals section looking after skunk and meerkats.
Ben is a certified marine mammal medic, meaning that if a creature needs rescued at sea, he is able to assist.
"I love teaching people about animals and working for ZooLab helps me take my passion out into the world."
Getting Brassy
Ben used to be a member of a brass band, playing a small trumpet called a cornet. He must have big lungs!
Environmental Ben-efits
Ben is passionate about ecology and sustainabillity. He likes to share his knowledge at his ZooLab shows.
He's a charmer
Ben worked with the only Kenyan sand boa in Europe to reproduce asexually through pathogenesis.
"My favourite ZooLab animal is Gary the snail. People are used to seeing snails in their garden, so often it's a good way to warm them up to the more exotic animals we have."
