Australia Zoo Off Display Animals

[CGSwans]

there are off display cos there are getting them used to people and their are building their enclosure

Bulldust.

All the off-display animals were born in captivity and there is no reason they would be any less equipped to deal with people than, say, the red pandas that were put straight on display.

As for building enclosures, sorry but I don't believe the spin. I've seen Australia Zoo's visitor numbers estimated at 700,000 which, at about $50 a visit, is a cool $35,000,000 coming through the gates each year. That's before they sell a single Stece Irwin figurine, photo with a snake or box of popcorn.

I have long been convinced that Australia Zoo have no intention of putting those animals on display, at least for as long as they are the only ones of those species in Southeast Queensland. They are so overbearingly commercial an operation that I see no reason to suppose that they will put on display for the price of admission what they can get people to fork over a couple of hundred bucks to see.

Australia zoo is a very well looked after zoo. It is the cleanest one I have ever been to. not a single cigarette butt, piece of gum or rubbish to be seen outside a garbage bin while I was there. Maybe they spend all that admission fee on celaners. . .

No - Keepers & Volunteers must clean up that before the zoo opens, and that is after the cleaners have been through with their leaf blowers. We're given gloves, but still a disgusting jobs none the less.

Australia zoo is due to have a rhino birth this year or early next year. It will be interesting to see how they handle that in regards to the public being able to see it.
