      That is so cool that they use a flying fox in their show!

      Can you describe what it does in the show? Im amazed I didnt realise they could be trained but then again why not :)
    • Animal
      They showed it around first (you can see that on the other pic), the it hung from that pole and flew into a net. End of that part of the show ;) Most animals had just some 3 minutes in the show.

      Vulpes, I didn't realise how many animals could be trained but most can, even storks and swans.

      At Taronga Zoo I heard they have a brolga in thier show...Can anyone confirm this?
    • torie
      it doesnt get used in every show but i can confirm that they have a brolga that is used in some shows. they also use an Andean condor now too!

      Yep they have a brolga (they may have used more than one) and they've had a couple of Andean Condors too. And I've seen trained emus, but they don't do very much.
