Animal Viewing Impacts:

Exploration Asia
The Exploration Asia Redevelopment project is officially underway! While there are some viewing impacts in the area, you can still visit many of your favourite species.

Species Viewable: Bactrian camels, Komodo dragons, white-handed gibbons, Malayan tapirs, red-crowned cranes, Turkmenian markhors, Amur tigers, wild boar, and Pallas’s cats. Plus, our Dalmatian pelicans can be found in their temporary home at Land of Lemurs!
Species Not Viewable: Snow leopards and red pandas have been relocated during construction, but don’t worry – these beloved species will be back in 2026.

West Gate Closure

Due to significant construction activities in and around Exploration Asia, the zoo’s West Gate will remain closed for the 2025 season and is expected to remain closed until at least 2028/2029. This necessary step supports the safe movement of visitors while we undertake exciting improvements to animal habitats and visitor experiences.

Welcome Back, ‘Leba’

March 09, 2023 | 1 minute read

Spotted (or should we say striped)! ‘Leba’ is back in the Savannah Yard!

We’re excited to welcome our Hartmann’s Mountain zebra mare back after her stay at the Archibald Biodiversity Centre (ABC) with our zebra stallion, ‘Eros’.

Since she joined us in 2015, Leba has been key in growing the zebra population, and is mother to several offspring including ‘Senha’, who was born in 2019.

Speaking of which, Senha is now off to the ABC to spend some quality time with his dad, Eros – but don’t worry about Leba being lonely.

Introductions between Leba and our other female zebra, ‘Genna’ are underway and are going well. Be sure to stop by the Savannah Yard on your next visit to welcome Leba back to her zoo home!
