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 don’t make a lot of money, but he really enjoys it. Being a vet in a zoo isn’t
more difficult than looking after dogs and cats but it’s a lot more interesting.
