I wish to expand my experience to work with a wider variety of animals, and the animals in this collection would be perfect as my next step, with hoofstock and birds being a key interest of mine and practical experience with these animals is something I would like to develop.

Very good! You've explained that you'd like to gain experience with a wider variety of animals, specifically those that this position would put you in contact with. You can also consider expanding your response to explain how working with a wider variety of animals fits into your long-term career goals. Do you want to be a head zookeeper, which requires familiarity with a diverse range of species? Or, do you want to specialize in the future - focusing on birds or hoof stock, which means you need hands-on experience with those species?
