FAQ’s

Do our animal’s get stressed?

This is a very important question!

All of our animals are part of our huge extended Family. Most, if not all of our animals are lovingly hand-reared and cared for in the home of the Director of Wild Action, Zoologist Chris Humfrey and his Family. This is why we can bring such a diverse array of native wildlife safely into your classroom. Our animals are not stressed! In fact, they love interacting with people. To accomplish this, it this takes 24/7 passion, energy and commitment to achieve this special experience.

What are our requirements?

We just need a suitable space where your students can comfortably be seated in a large semi-circle. 5m x 5m are is perfect! Indoors is most suitable. A multipurpose room, library of classroom is ideal.

Students must be instructed to wash their hands after our activation.
