WRITER: John Tuson
The first words that John Tuson ever spoke were “lion” and “tiger”; he has been obsessed with zoos, and with animals, ever since. Inspired by childhood visits to London, Dudley, Marwell and Longleat, as well as to the now-long-gone collection in his hometown of Bognor Regis, he has spent the past 50 years attempting to visit as many zoos as possible, in as many countries as possible. He is a teacher at a school in Sussex. He can be contacted at britishzoobook@gmail.com
