She also outlined upcoming events such as HE Graduation, the half term zoo opening, the Apple Festival and the range of short professional and leisure courses on offer.<\/p>\n<p>Listeners were also treated to an incredible story from Keeper\/Instructor Alan Woodward,\u00a0 who reared a lion cub after he was rejected by his mother at two days of age. Tejas is nine years old now and plays a key part in the captive breeding programme of the endangered Asiatic lion. Although he became part of a zoo collection in France, and has since moved to Germany, Tejas still recognises and greets Alan when he visits.<\/p>\n<p>James also chatted to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/animal-management\/level-3-diplomas-animal-management\/\">Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management<\/a> Course Manager Dr Simon Maddock, who is one of the world\u2019s experts in the amphibians of the Seychelles.<\/p>\n<p>Feedback from producer Lamont Howie was that the programme \u201dbrought colour, sound (vital for radio) and fun to the show while at the same time showing the diversity of courses that go on at Reaseheath.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\"
