🐊💥 Another day, another jaw-dropping croc feed!

Shrek’s been launching out of the water all week—and the school holiday crowds have been loving it. 😱🔥

💡 Did you know? Saltwater crocodiles have the strongest bite force of any living animal—measured at over 3,700 PSI. That’s strong enough to crush bone, turtle shells… even steel in the right conditions.

Want front-row seats to the action?
🕧 Croc Feed daily at 12:30pm—included with Zoo entry!

🥹🐨✨ STOP SCROLLING – Our first koala joey of the season has just made its debut!

At around 6 months old and fully furred, this little legend was spotted today peeking out of mum’s pouch in our Koala Breeding Centre—just in time for the school holidays.

It’s the very first joey to emerge for the 2024–2025 breeding season, and if you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse during your visit this July.

👀 A tiny head, curious eyes, and a whole lot of cuteness—this is what makes winter at the zoo so special. And yes, this is probably the cutest koala post we’ll share these holidays... so soak it up.

📍 Keep your eyes peeled in the Koala Breeding Centre
🕘 Open daily from 9am | 🗣️ Koala Keeper Talk at 11am

🐊💥 THIS. IS. SHREK.
Just in time for the school holidays, our 4+ metre Saltwater Crocodile is launching into action—literally. 😱🔥
Captured today: Keeper Emily feeding Shrek mid-jump, showing off the raw power of Australia’s top apex predator.
💡 Did you know? Crocs like Shrek can propel themselves almost completely out of the water using just their tails. No running start. No ramp. Just pure prehistoric muscle.
🕐 Croc feeds daily at 12:30pm—don’t miss the splash.
