CHESTER Zoo is offering people a chance to get up close to its many animals once more with its virtual zoo tours.

Following last Friday's success, the zoo is broadcasting videos live via its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/chesterzoo1 .

It allows people to see up close the animals which they cannot see at present due to the zoo being closed because of the global coronavirus pandemic.

The first of today's animals to be featured (Friday, April 3) are the meerkats.
