Todd Jenkinson

Keeper, Taronga Western Plains Zoo

Beginning his keeping career in 1999, Todd now works at Taronga Western Plains Zoo caring for a diverse range of animals.

Przewalski’s Horse Naylah successfully gave birth her first foal, Bataar, four months ago. Since then Bataar has been doing extremely well under the watchful eye of mum. He never likes to venture to far but is settling in to the herd well and bonding with one year old foal, Orlitiza. They both love to play around but Orlitiza still likes to be the boss.

A tiger with a sore toe; a stallion steps in to save a rare breed of horse; a platypus moves house; and a peregrine falcon needs help to fly.
