For Keeps: A Window Into The Fascinating World Of Zookeeping

For Keeps takes us into the world of Melbourne zookeeper Noel

Harcourt and all the unique and often unpredictable personalities

– both human and non-human – he encountered over the decades

of his career.

Noel gives us privileged access to behind-the-scenes glimpses

into the fascinating world of zookeeping and the bonds he and his

fellow zookeepers formed with all his cherished animals – often

challenging, frequently funny,

always engaging.

This heartfelt and beautiful

story takes us on Noel’ s

journey filled with a love

for the people and animals

that make modern zoos such

special places.
