Splish splash, it's an Echidna bubble bath! π§Ό
Amber the Echidna recently checked into our Vet Hospital for a medicated bubble bath to help to soothe some skin issues.
With a round of antibiotics, a second bath on the cards and lots of TLC, Amber will be a picture of health in no time! β

NUMBAT NEWS πΎ
Behind-the-scenes, Numbat mum Azari's little joeys are growing big and strong!
At the latest check-ins, her two girls and two boys were carefully weighed and had photos of their unique identifiable stripe patterns.
Not only are these joeys ADORABLE, but they represent a big win for wildlife!
When matured, these little Numbats will be released into wild habitat as part of our collaborative breed-for-release program πͺ

Fitness testing, Swampie style ππββοΈ
Behind-the-scenes, we've been cheering on tiny Western Swamp Tortoise hatchlings as they tackle walking and swimming time trials.
Results will help us learn how different egg incubation methods can influence the strength of these rare reptiles, and improve survival rates when released into the wild! πͺ

It's World Ranger Day! π
We are SO proud to support this incredible Painted Dog Conservation Inc anti-poaching team in Zambia.
These dedicated rangers work tirelessly to protect wildlife and habitats in South Luangwa, and it's certainly not an easy job!
They can spend weeks in the field navigating challenging terrain, encountering potential conflicts with wildlife, and enduring extreme temperatures.
They're on the ground conducting anti-poaching foot patrols, aerial surveillance, sniffer dog tracking work - determined to track down potentially armed and dangerous wildlife crime suspects.
And importantly, they also carry out community engagement to help locals live alongside the wildlife of the South Luangwa Valley.
Now that's saving wildlife in action πͺ

Anyone else see this rain and immediately want to snuggle back in bed? π
π§
Pulang's got the right idea - and keepers say she's an expert-level nest builder!
At bedtime, she gets to work collecting materials and then meticulously crafts layer upon layer of wood wool, leafy branches, cardboard and hessian sacks.
Then she'll kick back, relax and even treat herself to snacks in bed π
π· Keeper Teagan
Meerkat on duty! π
Did you know? While the rest of the meerkat mob forage for food there's always at least one meerkat on guard making sure everyone else is safe β this dutiful meerkat is known as the sentry.
If the sentry notices a possible threat, theyβll alert the others with a bark or whistle so everyone can run to the nearest hole for safety!
