Raised by the Zoo : My Life with Elephants and Other Animals

People have been enchanted by elephants for centuries. For Gerry Creighton, this fascination began at an early age; his father was a keeper at Dublin Zoo and instilled in him a love and respect for animals. Gerry followed his father and joined the zoo at 15, where he would spend the next 36 years observing, studying and caring for elephants. �Raised by the Zoo tells the story of Gerry's life in service to the many animals at Dublin Zoo - a place that holds fond memories for every family across Ireland. Filled with a lively cast of the zoo's inhabitants -�including Lucy the Chimp and Upali the Elephant - it captures a pivotal period in Dublin Zoo's history and underscores the importance of environmental conservation efforts around the world.�
