HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE PALM BEACH ZOO LATELY?
- Oz is a Kaola who loves fresh Eucalyptus and requires six varieties for his diet, which the zoo has acquired. The Zoo was approached to become a new facility for management and breeding of Queensland koalas, requiring staff training and construction of the new naturalistic habitat for koalas at the zoo costing over $100,000. More construction is underway to accommodate these animals.
- A newly constructed habitat for Wallabies allows you to watch for the baby joeys peeking out from mom’s pouch. You can get wonderfully close views.
- Wings Over Water is an interactive daily show featuring 20 trained majestic and sometimes comical birds – 11 am daily and also 2 pm on weekends.
- There are two new otter pups to ewwww and ahhhh over.
- Howl along with New Guinea Singing Dogs, Mic and Sydney, who star in the Wild Things Show at 1 pm weekdays and 12 pm weekends.
