Zookeeper and wild animal expert Nick Nyoka entertaining crowds at Colchester Zoo

At an East Anglian zoo, most probably Colchester Zoo, zookeeper and wild animal expert Nick Nyoka interacts with a cheetah, as the BBC East correspondent hides behind a tree. Nyoka is interviewed about the cheetah and other animals held at the zoo, before playing with a black panther and a pair of young tigers. In the tiger enclosure he talks about the dangers of working with wild animals, before starting his show for the large crowd assembled in front of the lion enclosure. Inside the enclosure, Nyoka uses a bottle to feed milk to a large lion and plays up to the crowd, before exiting the pen to display some of his snakes to the hesitant onlookers. The report concludes with Nyoka reflecting on his shows and the idea that people are partly attracted to them because of the element of danger.
