    The Australian Reptile Park has recieved a two-headed Blue-tongue Lizard (with two functioning mouths). Handed in by a member of the public, this individual, ‘Lucky’ will remain in captivity.

    Plans are underway to import a female Galapogas Giant Tortoise. A suitable female has been located at Rostock Zoo in Germany. It is expected that she will travel to Australia towards the end of 2019

    I just saw a video from 9 News Sydney saying/showing keepers are relocating animals at Australian Reptile Park due to torrential rain, posted yesterday. Is this current news? It also mentions/shows keepers at the Central Coast Zoo (same zoo?) working to keep their alligators contained as the water levels rise.
    I'd link the video but I can't seem to figure out how. Should be on the Facebook pages of 9 News Sydney and Australian Reptile Park.

    Yes, it is current. The fire has been replaced with flood. Australia is an ironic place.

    Not exactly. There’s still a lot of fires still burning. The floods are in a different part of the country.

    The Australian Reptile Park has welcomed a female Koala joey named Ash, who has recently emerged from her mother’s pouch.

    The article also states that there are at least another three koala joeys still in their mother’s pouch, yet to emerge.
