TEXT 1
The zoo vet
If you like animals you’ll love Manish Pandey’s job. He’s a vet at Chester Zoo, the largest zoo in

England, and one of the biggest in the world. In his job, Manish must look after some incredible

wild animals, including spiders with broken legs and giraffes with sore throats.

On a typical day, Manish gets to work at eight o’clock, and has a meeting with the zoo hospital

team before he goes to see the animals. He visits sick animals and talks to the zookeepers. He’ll

do operations in the morning if any animals have an injury.

Manish grew up India and always wanted to be a vet. He came to England to train and worked in

South Africa before he got his present job. He doesn’t earn much money in his job because zoos

looking after dogs and cats but it’s a lot more interesting.
