You’re welcome. Auckland Zoo’s 101 years (1923 to present) and Melbourne Zoo’s 141 years (1883 to present) are uninterrupted; so along with...
Visited a couple zoos in particular to see elephants (Auckland zoo, Franklin zoo) Most others is more than one species though Though im planning...
Hamilton Zoo have a massive exhibit (with the renovations only slightly reducing the footprint) and could accomodate a much larger troop. Taronga...
It’s truly the end of an era. I can’t imagine my childhood without visiting Kashin and Burma at the zoo in the 2000’s and with the zoo’s history...
It never ceases to amaze me how many ungulate species our region’s zoos crammed into a small space. Though it appears most had it better than the...
When Sally the beloved chimpanzee at Hamilton Zoo (she was originally born at Auckland Zoo) passed away, the zoo paid tribute to her by dubbing...
Many Auckland Zoo visitors will retain fond memories of Burma. She has certainly provided the zoo with some memorable moments, including her brief...

Finally visited more than the one zoo this year (!). Auckland Zoo on 22 August and Butterfly Creek on 23 August. In the listings below the ones in...
It would be really interesting to know if any Nilgai do survive in the region, possibly at the Mary River station but who knows!
I personally would love to see a larger troop of chimpanzees at Hamilton, and hope they will be able to achieve this in the future! As happy and...
That’s interesting. I’m assuming these came from the Auckland and Wellington Zoos. Looking at old maps, Auckland Zoo had a Bison herd around this...
That’s the worst joke I’ve ever heard. I agree though re. complimenting the exhibits. Wellington Zoo similarly have export crates that kids can...
I feel like Melbourne, Taronga, Adelaide and Perth would be the most likely to acquire mouse deer. They’d be difficult to see from the Altina tour...
I believe you forgot Australia zoos bull elephant/s. :D
Thanks for another comprehensive update @Osedax. As detailed on The Zoo, Rukiya had a habit of chasing the ostrich when she arrived at Auckland...
I was thinking Gelada for an expanded pathlong Giraffe enclosure at Melbourne. Hamadryas to Werribee to share the Elephant enclosure - completely...
Gelada/Baboons at Werribee: It’d be nice to see Gelada return to the region; or better yet, Chacma baboon - ironically harder to source...
I am still of the opinion (surprise) that Werribee should have a large expansion west to create an Upper Savannah that is extensive, and this...
That’s correct. While the phase out of bongo from Melbourne Zoo was attributed to the fatal incident, the phase out of ungulates from all city...
