Our new Red-Handed Tamarins enjoyed their Halloween Treat today!

Zookeeper Tahlia managed to capture this cute video of our dad Common Marmoset Charchie enjoying his breakfast muesli mix, with his two latest babies!! 🙊 💕

How cute is our family of Red-rumped Agouti enjoying their breakfast. These large rodents are native to South America and live in forest and rainforest areas. They are important to the ecosystem as they help spread seeds and nuts throughout the environment to grow new trees and regenerate the forest.

Some great guesses… The Giant Aldabra Giant Tortoises loved their anniversary salad cake!!! 🐢 🎂

How cool is this close up video of our beautiful Burmese Python moving along the grass… this particular locomotion is called “rectilinear” motion. 🐍

Our stunning Burmese Python getting into the spirit of Halloween on the Maze Express train ride!! Reminder until we do open... the Train ride for Amazement Farm and Fun Park still operates daily at 11am, 1pm and 3pm and you get to see the Camels, Ostrich, Antelope, Lions and a few more of the zoo animals!!!

Akita our beautiful African Lioness enjoying some enrichment - a whole watermelon……. She liked licking it before she later destroyed it 😂

Drumroll Please....🥁 We are very excited to announce our beautiful new additions the the Central Coast Zoo. We have welcomed a little creep of young Aldabra Giant Tortoises!!! 💥🐢 These cute (not so tiny) babies still do have a lot of growing to do, they currently weigh between 5 and 12kg - however these babies will grow into real giant tortoises one day. They can weigh up to 250kg in some cases!!! So these guys are like "Pre-schoolers" in the tortoise world... But they are very self sufficient and can look after themselves very well... Aldabra Giant Tortoises are native to the island of Seychelles, which is off the east coast of Africa and north of Madagascar. They are complete herbivores eating only vegetation like grass, shrubs and leaves. They are classified as a threatened species and listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. These new additions are settling in very well... They can be seen long the Train Ride route when you visit Amazement Farm & Fun Park🚂 We hope to start offering discounted baby tortoise encounters in the coming weeks. Let us know if you want to meet them up close and personal with a private encounter!!!

Love is certainly in the air today at Central Coast Zoo as our keepers showed our animals a little extra loving with some Valentine’s day inspired enrichment. Wishing you all a Happy Valentine’s day from the staff and Animals at Central Coast Zoo ❤️

Some of the Green Iguanas enjoying some hibiscus flower treats!! Trying the brighten their day inside their warm exhibit, as it’s been a bit rainy and miserable weather outside the past few days!

Good morning from our Fennec Fox now in their exhibit…
