00:00 Have you ever wondered what the animals at Hunter Valley Wildlife Park are doing in the early hours of the morning before we all get here?
00:08 I'm about to find out.
00:10 I'm at the wildlife park for the launch of new sunrise encounters.
00:14 They begin with breakfast at the park and some coffee.
00:18 There were things like croissants, muesli and bacon and egg rolls as well.
00:24 Before a tour kicks off, this is zookeeper Claudia Tischler introducing us to animals around the park, including this very interested ostrich.
00:35 There are peacocks, an opportunity to meet the meerkat family of five, and this is 17-month-old Coco, the spider monkey, playing in her enclosure as well.
00:51 And the most important part, getting to feed giraffes.
00:55 Here the zookeepers prepare the giraffes before a hand-feeding experience kicks off for guests.
01:01 We fed them acacia leaves and pellets, which are their favourite foods.
