Sick and injured native animals are set to receive the best possible care with the opening of the new Australian Wildlife Hospital at Australia Zoo north of Brisbane today.
The hospital will be able to cater for up to 10,000 sick animals a year and will officially open as part of the zoo's Steve Irwin Day celebrations.
The day celebrates the wildlife conservation values of the man internationally known as the Crocodile Hunter, who died from a stingray attack two years ago.
