An article about the new Emperor Tamarins. Altina will be a facility that specifically houses surplus males to allow other zoos to continue breeding from their pairs and provide additional space for the programme. The zoo expects to soon receive a further 2 to 3 males to join their current two tamarins. Altina will also be receiving Dingoes by Christmas along with additional Maned Wolves and Spotted Hyenas over the coming months.

Excellent news. From one of the most progressive regional zoos in the country!
About time!
Further information and a correction with the news I posted above. This new pair of Spotted Hyenas are actually siblings but are still unrelated to the ones currently in Australia of course: No laughing matter; hyenas join Altina Wildlife Park
A few updates from Atlina Wildlife Park's social media:
