Top things to do in Sydney
The Aussie 'Big Five' at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo
One of the premier attractions at Wild Life Sydney Zoo is the Australian Big 5, comprising Koalas, Kangaroos, Crocodiles, Wombats, and Platypuses. You must check these animals out when you visit Wild Life Sydney Zoo.
Koalas
Koalas are plant-eating marsupials that live in trees and are native to Australia. Wombats, members of the Vombatidae family, are their closest surviving cousins. Male and female koalas are housed in separate habitats at the Wild Life Sydney Zoo.
Kangaroos
Kangaroo Island is a small island off the coast of Australia. Kangaroos at Wild Life Sydney Zoo are a sub-species of the Western Grey Kangaroo. The fur on these kangaroos is thicker and darker, and they are recognized for being friendly. Kangaroos are the largest members of the Macropod family, which is defined by their huge feet.
Crocodile
Rocky, a massive saltwater crocodile, lives in Wild Life Sydney Zoo. He spends much of his time in his big pool, like other crocodiles. Rocky's water temperature is regulated at 30 degrees to let him retain his ideal body temperature of 30-33 degrees.
Wombat
Ringo, the zoo's bare-nosed wombat, loves carrots more than anything else. The rambunctious kid was born in August of 2013. Wild Life Sydney Zoo found him as an abandoned infant and adopted him. Ringo can be found wreaking havoc in Wallaby Cliffs, but he is also frequently seen visiting his adoring fans at the Zoo.
Platypus
The platypus is a member of the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals, which is the world's smallest mammal order. Echidna, another Australian native, is the only other member of this select club. The platypus, which is only found in eastern Australia, burrows in the steep banks of creeks and rivers and hunts for small prey in deep pools such as shellfish, fish, tadpoles, and insect larvae.
Other Animals at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo
Wallabies
This endangered species can be found primarily in inland areas of South Australia and New South Wales. They are herbivores that eat short grasses and dried herbs, depending on what is available at the time. They are given grass pellets, carrots, corn, and native grasses at the Wild Life Sydney Zoo. They live in colonies ranging in size from ten to over one hundred wallabies.
Nocturnal Species
Bilbies are a remarkable but little-known species native to Australia. They are a keystone species, which means that their survival boosts the odds of 19 other vulnerable species surviving. The Ghost bat is the largest carnivorous bat in Australia. They devour huge insects, reptiles, frogs, and small mammals and use echolocation, eyesight, and hearing to locate their prey.
Snakes
'Big Ronny,' a massive 5-meter Scrub Python, lives at Wild Life Sydney Zoo. They are Australia's biggest snake species, capable of reaching lengths of over 8.5 meters. The Diamond Python is a medium to big snake found in south-eastern Australia's coastal areas and neighboring ranges. The Eastern Brown Snake is the world's second-deadliest snake and is perhaps the most commonly encountered venomous snake in Eastern Australia.
Tasmanian Devils
Mirrin and Dharra, Tasmanian Devils, reside at the Wild Life Sydney Zoo. As a predator managing the food chain and as a scavenger eliminating dead animals from the landscape, Tasmanian Devils play an extremely vital function in their ecosystem.
Quokka
Quokkas are mostly found on Rottnest Island, which is located close to the coast of Perth. They reach a height of 90cm and a weight of up to 4kg. Native grasses, leaves, and seeds make up their food. Davey is the Quokka who inhabits the Wild Life Sydney Zoo premises.
Mini Beasts
Wild Life Sydney Zoo has three species of Mini beasts. Superworms are the larvae of a Darkling beetle species, hence they are not true worms. Because they eat deceased animals, superworms in the larvae stage are beneficial to humans. The fruiting bodies of fungi found on the forest floor provide food for the Giant Rainforest Snail. Throughout Eastern Australia, Common Yabby can be found in freshwater bodies such as lakes, ponds, and streams.
Spiders
There are two species of native Australian native spiders at Wild Life Sydney Zoo. The notorious Red-back spider may be found all around Australia. These spiders employ an elaborate pattern to weave their web, which is specifically designed to catch little crawling animals. The Sydney Funnel-web spider is the most hazardous spider on the planet. They must rear up to inject their venom because their fangs point down their bodies.
Birds
The Bush Stone-Curlew, sometimes known as the bush thick-knee, is an indigenous Australian ground-dwelling bird that is mostly nocturnal. It is best known for hunting small grassland animals. The princess parrot is a little parrot with a large head. With a pink throat, bluish crest, and vivid green shoulders, their feathers are predominantly green.
Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo
Even though they are classified as kangaroos, Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroos are one of 14 Tree Kangaroo species that look and act very differently from the kangaroos you are probably familiar with. They have adapted themselves to living in trees.
Numbat
Frankie the Numbat is no stranger to Sydney residents, who first heard him in 2016 after he was discovered, neglected and separated from his mother. Numbats are an important piece of the ecological puzzle in Australia.
Cassowary
In Australian rainforests, the cassowary is the largest native vertebrate. After the ostrich and the emu, it is also the world's third tallest bird. The male cassowary, unlike many other animals, is the one who raises the young. Cassowaries have also been dubbed the "deadliest bird on the planet."
Zones at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo
WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo has several animals. These animals are then further found in ten separate zones that are themed according to the habitats of the animals.
Tricky Tongues And Treetops
Meet Frankie the rescue Numbat from Western Australia, Kofi the Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo, and the Echidnas in this brand new habitat. The animals in this zone are very important to the ecological balance of Australia and are therefore quite popular too.
Devil's Den
The Tasmanian Devils Mirrin and Dharra live in Devil's Den. Their 'Dens' are subterranean burrows that they sleep in, which are usually found in dense foliage, thick grass, or caverns. Mirrin and Dharra are ambassadors for their severely endangered species.
Gumtree Valley
The unique eucalyptus scent of gum trees screams "Australia." These amazing trees may be found all over Australia's East Coast, but especially in New South Wales. The famed koalas can be spotted lounging and eating on Eucalyptus leaves in Gumtree Valley. The Bush Stone-curlew, Noname, can also be found in Gumtree Valley.
Wallaby Cliffs
Wallaby Cliffs is home to some of Australia's toughest creatures, including Yellow-footed Rock Wallabies and Ringo, the Bare-nosed Wombat. These animals are used to employing their survival skills to weather the conditions of their habitats.
Daintree Rainforest
If you want to get up close and personal with Australia's creatures, visit the Wild Life Sydney Zoo's recreation of Queensland's stunning Daintree Rainforest. Princess the Southern Cassowary, the Pademelons family, a Satin Bowerbird, and many other species call this ecosystem home.
Kangaroo Walkabout
Kangaroo Walkabout features kangaroos, a quokka, an emu, and princess parrots from Kangaroo Island. In this popular zone, learn more about the famed Kangaroo Island kangaroos Dot, Dusk, Nutmeg, Kirby, and Julie, as well as the cheeky Quokka, Davey.
Kakadu Gorge
Interact with a massive saltwater crocodile in the adventurous world of Kakadu Gorge. While on your fantastic journey of discovery to Australia's Kakadu Gorge, you may learn about the preservation challenges confronting crocodiles in the wild with on-site quick facts and sustainability messaging exhibited around the crocodile's new display.
Platypus Pool
The Platypus Pool is where you can look out for the fascinating and graceful platypus pals. Know about how these endangered creatures lay their eggs, their feeding habits, and what makes these iconic Australian animals so special. The platypus can be found relaxing amid the logs and branches in the water on occasion.
Nightfall
At the Nightfall ecosystem, you can see the strange and wonderful species that emerge after dark. Bilbies and Sugar Gliders are examples of nocturnal creatures found in this zone. This portion of the zoo provides an immersive experience by allowing visitors to see the animals in their natural habitat.
