Having kept her fearless attitude she has gone on to become skilled in handling the worlds most dangerous animals. Della gained her Zoology degree whilst working full time with some of the world s leading wildlife experts and completed her traineeship at Australias Tropical Zoo; she then went on to manage zoos and wildlife parks for 14 years. She even worked as a wildlife ranger in the arid outback and jungles of Australia for The Australian Governments Environmental Protection Agency, specialising in the monitoring, relocation and rehabilitation of various animals. She has also worked with the Governments East Coast Crocodile Management Program, the same program the late Steve Irwin was involved in. It is due to these talents that she was recruited by the most prestigious Zoological Institution in the world, the Zoological Society of London as a senior zookeeper. About the Director WildPet TV was created by Della Golding, a Zoologist and Senior Zookeeper with over 14 years experience caring for exotic animals professionally. She created this series to promote and encourage responsible husbandry, captive breeding, conservation and general knowledge to ensure a better existence for both the keeper and the kept. Up until now the education and instructions for exotic pet care had been limited to books, factsheets and web forums making it hard to interpret essential instructions such as correct feeding techniques, handling and bespoke care. This is perhaps reflected in a recent RSPCA study that found a 26 percent mortality rate within the first year of owing a reptile and 94 percent dying within 4 years. Hopefully through education these DVD s can benefit a wide range of species kept as pets. See more
