One of Victoria's biggest zoos has spent the past few days evacuating its animals from the nearby Grampians bushfire. Staff at the Halls Gap Zoo have relocated birds, monkeys, and reptiles, but larger animals like rhinos and giraffes have had to stay behind. The zoo's owner, Mark Trewweek, says keepers are on standby today for an expected wind change.
