Out of Brazil comes a first for Tasmania Zoo - Local News - News - Human Interest - The Examiner Newspaper
here's their website Tasmania Zoo | Devil's Heaven | Wet & Wild Buggies | Aussie BBQ & Night Safari | Trout Fishing @ Launceston Lakes Zoo Doo is near Richmond in the south of Tasmania, Tasmania Zoo is near Launceston in the north (I'd never heard of it before, and I was in Launceston last year!)
Tasmania zoo I am pleased to hear of this fairly new Zoological Gardens. Well as pleased as I can be without seeing it. A new zoo in a "zooless" part of the world is always to be appreciated.
Another 2 new zoos to visit. I am still suprised to hear about zoos in Australia that l have not heard off before. Just how many more zoos are there in Australia that house primates?????
I wouldn't exactly call Tasmania 'zoo-less'. Although not well-known outside of the island, there are actually quite a large number of wildlife parks there, mainly catering for native species as is to be expected. They even have an aquarium there.
Melbourne Zoo Werribee Open Range Zoo Taronga Zoo Taronga Western Plains Zoo Adelaide Zoo Monarto Zoo Perth Zoo Australia Zoo Alma Park Zoo Cairns Wildlife Safari Reserve Cairns Tropical Zoo Rockhampton Zoo Darling Downs Zoo Symbio Wildlife Gardens Mogo Zoo National Zoo and Aquarium Halls Gap Zoo Mansfield Zoo Launceston City Park Zoo Tasmania Zoodoo Wildlife Park Gorge Wildlife Park Crocodylus Park Anyone want to add more to the list?
Caversham Wildlife Park Bredl's Wonder World of Wildlife Hunter Valley Zoo Cudgee Creek Wildlife Park In a hurry so probably missed some.
This is exactly why the smaller zoos are so interesting to visit - because you are likely to see species ( particularly primates) which the big mainstream zoos will no longer bother with! If this Tasmanian zoo has Sulawesi macaques, as Glyn states, then I assume that they acquired them from Perth zoo?
