Caterpillars hate to see a Veiled Chameleon coming 👀

With a tongue that can extend to over twice his body length at rapid speed, often prey won’t even see Pickles before he strikes!

🌟 A world first at Perth Zoo for Western Ground Parrots! 🌟

A Western Ground Parrot chick has hatched and left the nest at Perth Zoo, a history making breakthrough for one of the world’s rarest birds.

After 11 years of tireless monitoring, research, and dedicated care, this moment marks an incredible step forward for the critically endangered species.

💚 Super Mum: Kangal incubated the egg entirely on her own, showing perfect nesting behaviour.

💚 Super Dad: Golambiddee stepped up too, providing extra care and support throughout.

With fewer than 150 Western Ground Parrots left in the wild, all surviving in remote southern WA, this hatchling represents new hope for a species on the brink of extinction.

Our expert bird keepers will keep watching the chick’s progress via CCTV and can’t wait to see its first tiny ‘test flights’ around the aviary. Every small milestone helps us learn more about this cryptic, elusive bird - knowledge that strengthens conservation efforts and brings us closer to protecting and eventually rebuilding the Western Ground Parrot population.

This achievement is only possible thanks to a long-running collaboration led by the South Coast Threatened Birds Recovery Team, together with DBCA Parks and Wildlife Service, Western Australia South Coast Natural Resource Management BirdLife Australia and Friends of the Western Ground Parrot

A huge win for science, conservation, and the future of this remarkable species.

Wallowing in mud helps rhinos cool off, protects their skin like sunscreen and even acts as an insect repellent!

With a meal as pretty as this it's no surprise Galapagos Tortoise Cerro often ends up wearing a lot of his food 😅

As social big cats, there are always plenty of interesting (and cheeky!) behaviours to see when watching our lion pride.
