Formerly housing Australian pythons, this exhibit now houses a pair of Morepork owls relocated from Jurong Bird Park. Interestingly the exhibit has been air-conditioned, possibly to house another New Zealand native in the near future.
@Zooish I remember a totally different species that was actually intended to be housed here, not from New Zealand but from Australia. Not sure if that plan fell through or not.
@UngulateNerd92 - they are actually Boobooks, and WRS is using a confused common name-versus-scientific name-versus-splits, the same as with the zoo's confused naming of "Buru Babirusa". Some of the owls were imported from Europe (I think the Netherlands from memory) and some were obtained from local aviculturists.
@BucerosKeeper if you're referring to Tasmanian Devils, an entirely new exhibit is being constructed for them at the end of the Wallaby Trail (where part of the Red River Hog exhibit used to be). They are supposed to arrive sometime this year, subject to the new exhibit being completed and the virus situation abating.
@BucerosKeeper WRS hasn't announced it yet (although the Night Safari gift shops had already started selling Devil plush toys), but the Aussie authorities have listed it on their website.
