You may have seen Giant Pandas have had their paws in headlines today!

While we love giant news about this amazing species and talking all things pandas and their conservation, we’d like to take a moment to ensure no one is bamboozled.

As a not-for-profit conservation charity, Zoos SA is focused on the welfare and care of Giant Pandas and spreading awareness about global conservation efforts for this incredible threatened species.

We are very thankful for ongoing consistent support from both Federal and State Government, which contributes to the global conservative effort in safeguarding this iconic conservation species.

Our Cooperative Research Agreement with the China Wildlife Conservation Association ensures Adelaide Zoo can continue to home the species and spark a love for pandas and their conservation for generations to come.

There is no additional funding coming to Zoos SA as a result of last night’s budget. All husbandry and care including feeding of Giant Pandas is paid for by Zoos SA.

Meanwhile, we always have time to chat about adorable black-and-white duo, Yi Lan and Xing Qiu!

This roly-poly duo are very active and love exploring their habitat in Bamboo Forest. Three-year-old Yi Lan is particularly cheeky, showing off lots of fun panda antics throughout the day.

Today is World Frog Day! 🐸

World Frog Day is dedicated to raising awareness for frogs and other amphibians.

Adelaide Zoo is home to two frog species native to Australia, Splendid Tree Frogs and Red-eyed Tree Frogs.

Recently, keepers have merged the two big groups of Splendid Tree Frogs together into one, and are hoping to see some eggs laid and tadpoles hatch out!

Happy National Panda Day! 🐼

National Panda Day is celebrated each year on 16 March to raise awareness about Giant Pandas and promote ongoing conservation efforts across the globe.

After arriving in Australia three months ago, keepers, volunteers, staff and visitors alike have loved watching the active and engaging pair, Yi Lan and Xing Qiu, explore their new home in Bamboo Forest.

Both young pandas, there has been lots of ‘beary’ fun panda antics including rolling, playing, speedy tree climbing – and testing out a new swing!

Once classified as endangered, the IUCN Red List conservation status of Giant Pandas has improved in the wild to vulnerable.

This is testament to the incredible efforts of conservationists in China, throughout the world, and right here at Adelaide Zoo.

WIN a car, protect a wild future! 🐯🚗

Wild species are in trouble, which makes the work we do at Zoos SA more vital than ever.

To support Sumatran Tiger conservation both here and the wild, we’re once again running the Zoos SA Car Raffle! Purchase a ticket for a 1-in-600 chance to win a brand-new Kia Stonic S valued at $28,442.

🐘🐼 A Special Message from Elaine Bensted 🐾✨

As I step into my final months as Chief Executive of Zoos SA, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey we’ve shared. Together, we’ve rescued endangered species, built safe homes for vulnerable animals, and ignited a passion for conservation in countless hearts.

This year alone, we’ve welcomed Giant Pandas Yi Lan & Xing Qiu, Asian elephants Burma & Permai (with three more on the way!), and are about to open the Monarto Safari Resort in partnership with Journey Beyond. These milestones would not have been possible without our amazing community.

I invite you to be part of this legacy. By becoming a Life Member, or gifting this experience to someone special, you’re helping secure a future where wildlife can thrive. It’s more than just unlimited entry to Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Safari Park—it’s a lifelong connection to nature, to adventure, and to something truly meaningful.

For a limited time, Life Memberships are available for $2,850 (normally $3,090.50), with flexible monthly payment options. Join us in protecting wildlife for generations to come.

The wild is calling; and now it’s more accessible than ever‼️

The pawfect partnership between Zoos SA and Variety SA has created an inclusive environment for all wild explorers across both animal experiences and onsite at Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Safari Park.

Alongside accessible animal experiences such as Lions360 and Land of the Lemurs, the latest endeavours focus on making the visitor experience at each site more inclusive and easier for all to explore.

This includes the new Variety SA on Safari bus, which can fit up to five wheelchairs or 26 passengers, providing greater opportunities for guests to experience the park.

New glass panels have also been installed at the lion platform to give everyone, including those in wheelchairs, a perfect view of the lions in action.

Binoculars at different heights, will allow kids and adults in wheelchairs to get up close and personal with the wildlife and the brand new, accessible pick up and drop off spot at the Chimpanzee habitat now makes it easier to see these all the primate fun without having to walk from the bus stop at The Outpost.

For more information on accessibility at Zoos SA sites, please visit monartosafari.com.au/accessibility or adelaidezoo.com.au/accessibility.
