      What's going in here?
    • antonmuster
      Indoors: koala, perentie, and moloch. Outdoors also: wallaby, emu, kookaboora, and rabbits.

      No wombat? I thought that was mentioned on here somewhere.
    • antonmuster
      Wombats would be... awesome :) ... but I fear there are no plans for them.
    • Pygathrix
      @antonmuster is that Moloch horridus or are you referring to a different species? Thanks
    • lintworm
      @Pygathrix Yep that is the one that is mentioned in the new zoo guide....
    • Pygathrix
      Thanks. Well that is quite exciting news! Would this be the only exhibit outside Australia with thorny devils? There aren't even many places with them on display in Australia
    • lintworm
      @Pygathrix It would be the only ones outside of Australia, but whether they will actually arrive is something that I will only believe when they are there ;)

      I'm still sceptical of moloch coming here. However if they do then that will be pretty amazing. Alice Springs has quite a number of them, so I would presume that if they are getting them then it would be from there. But they would need to have a reliable colony (or more likely, colonies) of the particular ant species on which to feed them.

      (And @Pygathrix yes they would be the only ones outside Australia).
    There are no comments to display.
