Zoos in local areas are closing their doors to the general public since of coronavirus social distancing guidelines but, behind the fences, the costs of caring for the animals are still being incurred.
Mark Stone, the owner of Billabong Zoo on the NSW Mid North Coast, said it was a big blow for his family-run service.
” Basically, with the animal side of things, we’re service as typical which comes at an extremely high cost,” he stated.
