Getting Our Animals in the Outback “In-Front” of Our Community
If you’ve been to the Zoo this season, you’ve likely noticed some improvements and new friends in our Outback Yard. We still have our three Eastern Gray kangaroos- Harley, Andre, and Nigel. We also have our emu, Penelope in with them! We’re so excited to debut our three new, male Bennett’s wallabies this season as well. If you’ve been lucky you might’ve spotted the most recent addition – a sulcata tortoise! What was once two separate yards for kangaroos and emu, has now become an expanded Outback yard with four different species! Have you ever wondered how zoos are able to have mixed-species exhibits (exhibits with multiple different types of animals!) or what all goes into setting them up? Well, here’s a sneak-peak at some of the things that your Zoo has done to get these new animal friends happy and healthy on exhibit for you to see and learn about!
