We have even seen sea horses !

The vet team also does emergency cover work for the Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and Kadoorie Farm when their own vets are on holiday. This has included working with such wild and exciting species as orang utan, jaguar and wild boar. There is also some occasional work at Ocean Park, helping with the marine mammals, fish and bird collections. However it is more common to find our vets volunteering at these institutions as this type of work is quite fascinating and is very educational.
