At least all this rain means more puddles for the pups to splash in ⛈️

Behind-the-scenes, dingo puppies Sunny and Luna have begun training for walks!

Keepers say they're inquisitive quick-learners, but sometimes they still get a little overexcited 😅

Eventually, it's hoped they'll go for daily enrichment walks through the Zoo grounds.

We know you're all very excited to see Sunny and Luna, and it's looking like they'll be in the Australian Bushwalk within the next month!

Stay tuned for more pup-dates soon.

Hey Kayak👋

In our family of White-cheeked Gibbons, Kayak has taken on a father-figure role for little Lulani, and and they have the sweetest relationship!

You'll often spot Kayak lounging in the sun but staying close by Lulani and Jermei's side. 💙

Time for a tree-mendous shout-out to our Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo dad, Huli! 💚

Not only is he one of the cutest dads around, but he's fathered an incredible FIVE offspring in his 12 years!

His un-be-leaf-able efforts have contributed to our work in the globally coordinated breeding program for this adorable but endangered species.

Go Huli! 🌿

Dad bod looks good on Memphis 😍
Weighing in at nearly two tonnes, this Southern White Rhino is one of the heftiest dads in the Zoo.

Through our role in the regionally coordinated breeding program, Memphis has had two calves in his 37 years, including his son Bakari who lives right next to him!

To say thank you to all the horn-orable dads out there, we're giving FREE entry to all dads this Father’s Day!

Happy International Primate Day!
We’re swinging into the wild world of primates but hold your bananas because not every primate is a monkey 🤯

It's a common misconception, but it's actually super easy to tell the difference between monkeys, apes and prosimians if you know what to look for.

Watch as Keeper Louise explains 🙌

Prey for the pack 🐾
Painted Dogs are some of the best hunters in Africa - that's why prey feeds like this are an absolute hit!

These carnivores are highly social and will cooperate to get the most out of a hunt 💪

Quality care for these rescued Quendas ✅

Two adorable Quendas have found their forever home here at Perth Zoo!

But before making the move to the Nocturnal House in the coming weeks, our incredible vet team did a general check-up to get a better understanding of their health 💙

Happy World Painted Dog Day! 🐾

Back in the 1990s, it was estimated there were only around 2,500 African Painted Dogs left in the wild. But today, despite threats, those numbers have GROWN to more than 6,500.

How? Well, it's thanks to the work of conservationists like our partner Painted Dog Conservation Inc.

We've been proudly partnered with PDCInc for nearly 20 years, supporting anti-poaching and anti-snaring patrols and local community education programs.

Thank you Painted Dog Conservation Inc for making the world safer for wild dogs and countless other wild animals! We couldn't be prouder to work with you 🐾💚

When it rains, it paws! 🐾 Who do you think left these perfect muddy prints?

Blink and you'll miss it 👀
Veiled Chameleons are suuuuper slow moving until it comes to eating!

Watch as Pickle's sticky tongue shoots out like a bungee cord. And if you look closely, you'll spot the ball of muscle on the end that acts as a suction cup to grab the tasty cricket!
