A much calmer zoo

Jenny Gray (43) was the Chief Executive Officer of Johannesburg Zoo for four years, before emigrating to Melbourne, Australia, where she started as director of the Werribee Open Range Zoo in January. Part of her new plans include aiming to triple the number of animals and making the zoo a leading attraction in Australia. Visitors to Johannesburg Zoo increased from 267 000 to 440 000 a year during her time there. Werribee has about 260 000 visitors per year. Before working in zoos, Jenny completed a civil engineering degree and a MSc in transportation engineering. She worked for First National Bank's electronic banking division before joining Johannesburg Zoo.
