There’s a new stud in town 🤭
A new male Numbat called Miro has joined our Native Species Breeding Program!

He arrived from Dryandra and will soon be matched with a female for the new breeding season.

Perth Zoo is the only place in the world breeding these endangered marsupials, making the longevity of our program incredibly important.

Miro’s arrival means the population of Zoo-born and released Numbats is genetically diverse. After he’s sired some joeys, he’ll be rereleased back into the wild 🐾

Dingo bouncies incoming!

Sunny and Luna get to choose their own adventure on their daily enrichment walks… and they nearly always end up bouncing through every bit of long grass they find 😅

Our first Little Penguin chick in 10 years has waddled into the world!🐧

The pint-sized hatchling is the first chick for proud parents, ‘Shrimp’ and ‘Charlie’.

While these penguins may be small, this milestone is HUGE for the breeding program, helping boost Little Penguin populations across WA!

Black cockatoo fun fact!
Did you know you can identify what kind of black cockatoos are in your area based on the state of the nuts left on the ground?

Carnaby’s Cockatoos, Red-tailed Black Cockatoos and Baudin’s Cockatoos all have different shaped beaks and tackle nuts quite differently.

🖤Carnaby’s have shorter upper mandibles and will often shave the skin

🖤Red-tailed Black Cockatoos use their short beaks to tear and remove the top of the nut to get into tasty seeds inside

🖤Baudin’s have a longer, sharper bill which is designed to feed almost exclusively on seeds inside Marri nuts
