Hm. Well, the only zoo keeper I have with those overalls came with yellow arms, and I'm sure I have all the zoo sets from this series. He must be a custom, but that still leaves the question of where the arms came from.  :eh?: Wish I could help.

Looking at the picture, I think the Dinos motorbike rider 5237 might have arms of that colour.

Ok, I found the dino biker. I can't say that his arms are EXACTLY the same color as the zookeepers, maybe a half a shade darker. But they definitely are a pretty close match, and you'd never notice the difference. That's probably where your arms came from.

Ha! Well done bb! Edit: and Elaine!
He's AWOL in Playmodb because his arms are described as 'unknown colour', so he doesn't show up with Find-a-klicky. Here is his page:
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/klicky.pl?partnum=30-00-1103

There is a lot more about him that's 'unknown' as far as the DB is concerned. I would suggest submitting a correction to Heather, but I don't think she wants them at the moment. (I PM'd Heather a few weeks ago and offered to collect and collate such information while the DB is not being actively maintained, until such time as it could be entered, but she was probably too busy to reply!)

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I may be mistaken, but isn't he the mechanic in one of the dirt bike sets?

Close!

Mystery solved, Skypurr and bb were right;
The motorbike-driver in set 5237 has the long, very darkgreen armsleeves! Got him now and imo the armsleeves match exactly with the torso and legs I used on my custom.
