A \u00a315 ticket allows unlimited family access for one week plus continued access to the content online.<\/p>\n<p>Live sessions include presentations from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/zoo\">Reaseheath zoo<\/a> keepers Alan Woodward on carnivores, Gez Hazelaar on falconry, Ben Sutcliffe on amphibians and Anne-Marie Smith on marmosets and tamarins.<\/p>\n<p>Canine expert Paige Jepson shows how to teach tricks to the family dog while Matt Shackleton demonstrates veterinary physiotherapy with the zoo\u2019s tapir.<\/p>\n<p>External contributions include the conservation of Australian native wildlife, the discovery of the first UK pine marten, how to set up camera traps and a talk by a skull and bone expert.<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath Zoo Education Manager Hannah Stone explained: \u201cIn previous years our zoo school has been very popular but this year we have had to come up with an alternative, home based, programme which still allows families to have fun and learn some fascinating facts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ll be uploading new content every day and these will be available for a month online so it doesn\u2019t matter if you miss a live session. We\u2019re sorry that we\u2019ve not been able to welcome visitors on site this summer but are looking forward to seeing everyone once we re-open.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reaseheath\u2019s virtual zoo school runs from Monday 10th August to Friday 28th August.
