Friends, we have an important reminder to share 💚

Last week, one of our Blue-billed Ducks in the Australian Wetlands habitat was found trapped in a rubber band.

Luckily, keepers were able to catch the duck quickly and remove it. We’re happy to say our feathered friend was unharmed, but this story could have had a very different and much sadder ending.

That’s why we’d like to share this important reminder.

When you visit, please do your absolute best to keep your belongings secured and avoid dropping things into the habitat. What seems harmless to us may be harmful to our animals.

Our teams work very hard to keep the habitats natural, safe and enriching, and we’d like to keep them that way!

Thank you for your help and understanding ❤

The BEST pup-date ever 😍

We're so excited to share that we've welcomed two dingo puppies!

The 10-week old sibling pair arrived from Victoria in recent weeks. For now, the duo will be living behind-the-scenes in our vet department while they acclimatise to their new home.

That means you won't be able to see them just yet. But don't worry, we'll have plenty of behind-the-scenes puppy content to share in the meantime.

Many of you would remember we said sad goodbyes to our beautiful senior dingoes Daku and Mirri over the last couple of years. They inspired a love for the species in all of us, and now these little pups will create a whole new generation of dingo lovers ❤

We'll let you know as soon as they're ready to move into the Australian Bushwalk, but please be patient - it'll be a few weeks!

Thanks Keeper Steve for this special sneak peek 🐾

The new rope pathways are a hit for Lulani! 🤩

White-cheeked Gibbons are one of the most agile primates and so much fun to watch.

In our new Gibbon Crossing habitat, they can really put their natural brachiating skills to the test!

Swing on in to our new Gibbon Crossing!

Today, Environment Minister Matt Swinbourn MLC helped us launch our new immersive habitat, the Gibbon Crossing 🎉

This state-of-the-art addition cleverly uses our vertical space to triple habitat size for our family of White-cheeked Gibbons.

Using overhead rope pathways, the gibbons will be able to brachiate right above you as you enter the Zoo!

These small apes are one of the most agile and acrobatic primate species and it’s pretty incredible to watch in action.

Get ready for plenty of swinging and singing on your next visit! 🙌

Friends, we have a sad update to share with you.

Over the weekend, our pregnant White-cheeked Gibbon Jermei went into labour. Heartbreakingly, despite every effort from our expert team, the baby did not survive 💔

Our incredible animal care team monitored her 24/7. But as time passed during her labour, it became clear that nature wasn’t taking its course.

Gynacological experts who normally assist with human pregnancies, helped perform a caesarean, but the little one didn't make it. Our teams gave their absolute all, but nature had other plans.

Right now, our focus is on helping Jermei recover and supporting the family group through this loss.

We hope you understand that there may be times when the family are tucked into the night quarters on your next visit.

We’re very sorry to have to share this news with you. Thank you for your kindness and unwavering support ❤

Okay, another joey post because we are OBSESSED😍

This little joey is more than just a cute fluffy face - it represents a big conservation win for the regionally coordinated breeding program.

First-time mum Mindjil and dad Laurie arrived at Perth Zoo just last year, ahead of koala breeding season.

Successfully having a little bub in their first season together is a testament to the excellent care provided by our Aussie fauna keepers🥰

46 years of Utama the Sumatran Orangutan🧡

To celebrate Utama's birthday, her keepers have shared some of the many reasons they love caring for her!

👣 She'll tap her feet up and down to show when she's in a good mood.

😋 She's cheeky and curious - she loves sparkly jewellery or pretty nail polish and is quick to check out if her keepers have something new!

🖐️ She's very tactile - she loves squishy toys or items she can play with.
