the keepers and the kept!

"From captives to carers, from naturalists to nurturers, The Keepers and the Kept from former Zookeeper Terry Boylan, is a revealing account of the evolution of people and animals together.This is a lighthearted account of the life of a zoo, particularly Sydney’s Taronga Zoo, from a zookeeper’s perspective. It tells of the interesting human characters, gives insight into the running of a zoo and contains humorous and heart-warming animal stories. There are tales of eccentric collectors who founded the zoo, other keepers, their feuds, practical jokes and political machinations. Terry Boylan describes unusual events such as animal escapes, from Taipan snakes to rampaging elephants, including the hazards (and death) of some zookeepers. He covers the bizarre behaviours of visitors to the zoo and even animal collecting expeditions to foreign countries. Through his anecdotes he reveals how modern zoos have developed into the professional organisations they are today"
