Singalong at the Safari Park: Weeve heard of captive audiences, but this is ridiculous
Singalong at the Safari Park: Weeve heard of captive audiences, but this is ridiculous. Singing to the animals in a wildlife park. We found young keeper Tim Durant singing -Be My Love" to a bunch of baboons, while in the giraffe enclosure Paul Wiseman was crooning -Moon River" to his charges. For a explanation we had a word with Kay Smart. She was down by the pool, serenading the dolphins. -Weere quite serious about it, " said Kay. -It soothes them at this time of the year when there are few visitors. And it keeps them used to people. Now youell have to excuse me. Ieve got the killer whale to sing to before lunch." The dolphins gather round to listen to Kay Smart singing, with guitar accompaniment. May 1975 P000620

Singalong at the Safari Park: We've heard of captive audiences, but this is ridiculous. Singing to the animals in a wildlife park. We found young keeper Tim Durant singing "Be My Love" to a bunch of baboons, while in the giraffe enclosure Paul Wiseman was crooning "Moon River" to his charges. For an explanation, we had a word with Kay Smart. She was down by the pool, serenading the dolphins. "We're quite serious about it" said Kay. "It soothes them at this time of year when there are few visitors. And it keeps them used to people. Now you'll have to excuse me; I've got the killer whale to sing before lunch". In this heartwarming print from May 1975, captured by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, we witness an extraordinary bond between humans and animals at a safari park like no other. The dolphins gather round as Kay Smart serenades them with her beautiful voice and guitar accompaniment. This unique practice not only brings joy and entertainment but also serves as a means of comfort for these magnificent creatures during quieter times when human interaction may be limited. The dedication shown by keepers like Tim Durant and Paul Wiseman highlights their commitment towards creating enriching experiences for both animals and visitors alike. Through music's universal language, these incredible individuals forge connections that transcend species boundaries – reminding us all that harmony can exist even amidst diverse habitats.
