🌍 National Threatened Species Day🌍
Today, we shine a spotlight on the Spotted-tail Quoll, also known as the Tiger Quoll- one of Australia’s most remarkable yet vulnerable native species. Here at Halls Gap Zoo, we’re committed to protecting and preserving these incredible animals. Over the past three breeding seasons, we’ve successfully bred 19 healthy quoll joeys, contributing to the survival of this amazing species.
These fierce little predators play a crucial role in their ecosystems, but they face many threats in the wild. By breeding and caring for them, we’re helping to secure their future.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!
You guessed it! Serval kittens are coming soon!! 🤗😺
We need your help to name our kittens, 1 female and 2 males. Our team has chosen a few names in 3 different themes. To pick the theme you`d like, head to our Facebook page to REACT to our naming post.
*We placed collars on the kittens for naming purposes so you can see what name goes with which kitten.*
Voting closes 8am Monday 9th.
Stay tuned to our social media to see how you can meet the bundles of cuteness in person 🫣
When it comes to being a father, there’s no one better than emus!
Emu males are devoted fathers: the males alone incubate the eggs, after they are laid by the female. The newly hatched chicks are able to walk shortly after birth and will follow their dad for about 6 months until they are big enough to fend for themselves.
If you’re still looking for a Fathers Day gift for this Sunday, check out our animal experiences on our brand new website! https://hallsgapzoo.com.au or come visit our three emu chicks before they get too big! 🥰

In the interest of public safety, the zoo will be closed today (Wednesday 28th August). As the wind is supposed to increase during the day, we have made the decision for our guests, animals and our staff.
Hoping to see everyone tomorrow!
If you had an animal encounter booked for today, we will be in contact to reschedule.
The weather is warming up, which means our reptiles are becoming more active.
