Our Blackbuck herd has welcomed a dozen calves and counting!

Like other antelope species, Blackbuck 'stash' their young to keep them safe from potential predators. Even here at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, where they are safe from predators, the mums replicate this natural wild behaviour, which means keepers have to keep their eyes peeled to spot new babies!

Denis the ... camel living up to his name 😅

This cheeky guy can't even wait until the keepers have tipped his hay off the wheelbarrow before tucking in!

Denis is a Dromedary or Arabian Camel, a domesticated species of camel recognisable for their singular hump.

The Dromedary has been considered extinct in the wild for thousands of years, despite a significant feral population in Central Australia.

Come and see them at Taronga Western Plains Zoo, where you can see them living alongside fellow North African species like Barbary Sheep and Scimitar-horned Oryx.

A soaring success 💛🖤

We've recently wrapped up one of our biggest breeding seasons ever for the critically endangered Regent Honeyeater at Taronga Western Plains Zoo!

Taronga has been breeding Regent Honeyeaters for wild release since 1995, with the program expanding to Taronga Western Plains Zoo in 2019 to increase breeding and holding capacity.

Guests at Taronga Western Plains Zoo can see firsthand the stunning species and learn more about Regent Honeyeater recovery program in the aviary next to the Taronga Wildlife Hospital.
