It appears that there's no thread for this one yet, so I've created one.

I've had a small conversation with Greg Irons this morning, and can reveal that construction has begun on the new Wildlife Hospital, set to be complete in August this year.

Thanks for the list. Only having approximately 30 species doesn't seem like much, but many zoo nerds around the world would love to see some of those animals at their local zoos!

It’s primarily a rescue/rehab centre with some exhibits for unreleasable animals and some herptile displays. Despite this they’re from the research I’ve done they’re the only public holder of Tasmanian Tree Frogs.

They were asked by the Tasmanian government to start a breeding program for the tree frogs.
