A SHAPE-Africa Project
~Website Established 2020~ 2025
Update (Oct 2025): Watch this space. SHAPE-Africa aims to offer more in the form of courses both online and in person. Much to figure out and do before that happens. But its on the ball.
This is wibbles a King Vulture at Lory Park Zoo. Very curious little chap, so we designed him a feeder bucket that moves. He took to it well and had no trouble figuring out how to get at the goodies inside.

Who is Pippin ?
Who is Pippin ?
Pippin was a favourite dog from our childhood who taught us a lot about behaviour. He helped us appreciate enrichment and how to keep an active dog busy! Wire-haired terriers are terrors, he had us literally swimming in circles, chasing moles and wading in the ocean for starfish. We loved him dearly.
