Animal lovers are in for a treat with two exciting new attractions at Taronga Zoo Sydney and at Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo has welcomed two adorable additions to the giraffe herd, born within one week of each other, and Taronga Zoo Sydney has opened a new tiger enclosure.

The long-awaited Tiger Trek, is the first exhibit of its kind, combining the excitement of seeing four endangered big cats with an educational program about the threat of palm oil production on the species.

The arrival of the newborn male giraffe calves in Dubbo marks an exciting development for the Zoo’s giraffe breeding program, which has an 11-strong breeding herd of the gentle giants.

There is also a third calf on the way with another giraffe, Ntombi, confirmed pregnant and expecting soon!
