    Exciting! Those will I believe be the only platypus in WA, which I'm sure they will use as advertising!

    Seems like Perth zoo is going down a similar road to taronga and Melbourne.

    A new nocturnal Platypus House like MZ's on the Main Trail, African Savannah expansion, like MZ did when combining several enclosures together, an Asian Rainforest precinct, like TOTE, new gibbon exhibit like the refurbished Gibbon exhibit :D

    As reported by @DaLilFishie in the species lost from Perth Zoo thread, the zoo no longer has Northern Quoll or Dampier Peninsula Monitor. This is particularly unfortunate with the monitor as it was the only known living specimen in existence.

    Sorry, I meant Western Quoll / Chuditch rather than Northern.

    I've never visited the zoo, but I believe I recall someone saying on here once that it was in the reptile house.
