Currently home to the park\'s adult female skunk and no fewer than 10 youngsters. They are incredibly active and make for a superb exhibit. Dad can be seen in the original exhibit in the farmyard area.

That's a lot of skunks! I need to make a trip here, I started craving visiting after seeing baby Morletts crocs!

This group of skunks is one of my favourite things ever. I could have watched them all day. Well worth a look!

A Simply superb exhibit for often overlooked animals, I wonder what makes them so active here?

I think it's a result of sheer numbers and the young age of most of the animals (all 10 youngsters are from a single litter in May this year).

This exhibit seems to be housing constantly changing residents; I remember coatis in here up until 2006 and then marmots which moved out this year.

Either way, the skunks seem to do very well there!

And I seem to recall it had Azara's Agoutis between the marmots and the skunks!

The agoutis now share with the squirrel monkeys.
