Binturong
Binturongs, with their prehensile tails, dark fur, and mysterious demeanor, appear almost mythical, evoking a sense of enchantment and intrigue.
Lion
Lions can run at about 55km/h but their prey average around 80km/h, they must get as close as possible to their dinner without being seen
Koala
Koalas are not a bear, but are in fact a marsupial. Koalas have thick fur that ranges from very light to very dark grey on the head and body, with white patching on the bottom, chest and ears.
AMERICAN ALLIGATOR
Early in the morning the alligator moat may seem eerily empty, with only eyes and nostrils breaking the surface. Once the sun rises, the basking giants create an entirely different scene.
Tasmanian Devil
Tasmanian Devils are primarily solitary animals, living in territories that may intersect other individual’s territories. Each territory will have 3-4 dens, which can be utilised for years, especially by females with young.
Dingo
Dingoes do not bark as is the case with domestic dogs. The alpha male and female will usually be the only breeding pair in the pack, with other subordinate members assisting in the rearing of pups.
Wombat
Common Wombats are a short, robust marsupial native to south-east Australia and Tasmania
MEERKAT
The role of ‘sentry’ is crucial to a meerkat mob’s safety and security. Always vigilant, the sentry stands guard, scanning the surroundings for danger while the rest of the group foragers without fear of predators.
BLACK-HANDED SPIDER MONKEY
With long limbs and prehensile tails, spider monkeys are expert climbers. Watching them traverse great heights, swinging and leaping with effortless grace, their agility is undeniable.
RING-TAILED LEMUR
Ring Tiled Lemurs 'sun worship' which means they face their tummies to the sun and stretch their arms out wide to warm themselves up.
