As autumn school holidays approach, Sydney's Taranga Zoo (Taronga Zoo) welcomes a bunch of cute little animals, including two weasel (meerkat) cubs and 20 pinnacle (feathertail glider).
Tyranga Zoo's loveliest marine mammal, Moby, is growing and more confident. The beloved but endangered male sea lion cub has made a big splash at his new home in Seal Cove.
Moby was born on Friday, Oct. 6. His mother is Lexie, and his father is Charlie,. He has begun to build up confidence in swimming step by step. The keeper moved Moby from one shallow pool to another, where visitors could watch him dive and play in a new place.
Tyranga's meerkat cubs were born earlier this year, and they are developing very quickly.
"these cubs can now stand on their hind legs, and this ability is very important for them to stand on guard as adults," said Boz (Maz Boz), a predator's keeper.
"they may be small, but they have shown their little personality. They are extroverted, adventurous and curious, and like to jump onto other stoats and play with each other. "
At the end of last year, the successful breeding of more than 20 different species of pinnacle shreds meant that more activities would take place in the Australian nightlife exhibition.
Breeders are not sure how many cubs are born because they glide quickly between branches, but about 20 are expected to be born.
Australian fauna keeper Rob Dokler (Rob Dockerill) said the breeding was both successful and rare and meant the tiny gliders would be important messengers for their species.
"We are the first zoo to breed these small marsupials, so when such a large group is born, it is always exciting." By the end of last year, the Taranga Zoo had added a baby chimpanzee and a baby gorilla, both very playful, spending most of their time with their mothers or with other primates.
Before visiting, families who buy tickets from the zoo website can enjoy a maximum discount of 20%.
Taronga Zoo is open every day during the school holiday. To see all the animals, it is best to choose the daily feeding time. For more information, please visit https://taronga.org.au/taronga-zoo
