Australia Building

What's going in here?

Indoors: koala, perentie, and moloch. Outdoors also: wallaby, emu, kookaboora, and rabbits.

No wombat? I thought that was mentioned on here somewhere.

Wombats would be... awesome ... but I fear there are no plans for them.

@antonmuster is that Moloch horridus or are you referring to a different species? Thanks

@Pygathrix Yep that is the one that is mentioned in the new zoo guide....

Thanks. Well that is quite exciting news! Would this be the only exhibit outside Australia with thorny devils? There aren't even many places with them on display in Australia

@Pygathrix It would be the only ones outside of Australia, but whether they will actually arrive is something that I will only believe when they are there

I'm still sceptical of moloch coming here. However if they do then that will be pretty amazing. Alice Springs has quite a number of them, so I would presume that if they are getting them then it would be from there. But they would need to have a reliable colony (or more likely, colonies) of the particular ant species on which to feed them.

(And @Pygathrix yes they would be the only ones outside Australia).
