How long have you worked at Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park?

Joules the baby Alpaca! I really love Alpaca’s so when I saw him for the first time he became my favourite animal here.

The family atmosphere we have as a team and the guests.

Disney’s Sleeping Beauty, it has the best princess and the best villain in that film.

Do you have any pets?

Yes! Two beautiful bunnies!

What is your party trick?

Ooooo that’s a tough one…I’ve only recently learned how to roll my tongue into a tube so I’d say that is my trick.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

I suppose I am a grown up? 🙁 But I’ve always wanted to be in a fun role at a visitor attraction.  

Tell us your favourite joke?

Why do elephants paint their toenails red?

So they can hide in cherry trees!

Have you ever seen an elephant in a cherry tree?

…exactly! It works, doesn’t it?!
