Animals
There is a wide range of animals at Australia Zoo, here are some of the ones you cannot miss out on seeing:
Crocodiles: Saltwater
The deadly, furious crocodiles are the pinnacle of Zoo and are known for their deadly bite and snapping jaws, which are usually wide open and waiting!
Crocodiles: Freshwater
A slightly smaller breed of crocodile, freshwater crocodiles are fascinating animals and here at Australia Zoo you can experience them display their natural behaviour first hand, including the high walk, where they lift their entire body off the ground and move overground.
Binturong
Often known as bear-cats despite not being related to either of the two, Binturongs are unbelievably adorable and worth meeting whilst they hang out in a tree - they are shy animals which are not often spotted by humans in the wild.
Cheetah
Magnificent spotted creatures who are known to be the fastest animal on the planet, the Cheetah is definitely worth seeing at Australia Zoo. A vulnerable species, there are as few as 7,000 cheetahs left in the wild.
Snakes
Australia is renowned for its array of deadly, slithering snakes which roam the plains of the country. From coastal taipans to black tigers, Australia has an impressive plethora of snakes to discover!
Tigers
Boasting two different species of tiger, Bengal and Sumatran, Australia Zoo allows you to experience these incredible, majestic creatures up close. As two critically endangered species, Australia Zoo is dedicated to protecting these amazing creatures.
Wallabies
A sanctuary for three different types of wallaby: black-footed rock, red-necked and swamp, Australia Zoo is a fascinating place to learn about these unique, jumpy creatures native to Australia!
