(Hong Kong - 1 August 2012) To celebrate its 35th anniversary, Ocean Park has produced a series of short documentaries titled “Ocean Park InsideTrax” to showcase the Park’s diligent and committed work behind the scenes with its animal ambassadors. Interviewing various animal keepers and trainers about their everyday work and experience with the animals, viewers are taken on a back-of-house tour through different animal exhibits to learn about what happens behind the scenes. The various episodes will be sequentially posted over the coming months on the Ocean Park Channel, a brand-new online video platform and will be uploaded to Ocean Park’s YouTube Channel, Facebook fans page and the Park’s website. Versions with Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English subtitles are available. Announcements will be made through the various website, fan base and digital networks, as each episode is introduced. View the first episode and be amazed by the experience! Stay tuned for more episodes in the weeks to come.

Tom Mehrmann, Ocean Park’s Chief Executive says: “Ocean Park is devoted to    entertainment, education and the advocacy of conservation. The Ocean Park Channel allows our guests to understand from the inside perspective the extraordinary efforts of our zoological professionals contribute to ensure our animals receive the best care. With the underlying message throughout all the episodes in the entire series being “We Conserve What We Love”, we hope the guests will be inspired to love the animals and help conserve their natural habitats through changes they make in their own everyday living habits.”
