Who knew an elk could be so adorable 🦌
Romeo is a bit of a showstopper with his impressive horns, and they’re still growing!
Romeo’s antlers can grow at a rate of up to an inch per day during their peak growth phase!

🦅 Meet Hummer, our magnificent Wedge-Tailed Eagle! 🦅
Hummer’s journey is one of resilience and strength. After being struck by a truck in the wild, this incredible bird of prey was left unable to return to the skies. Now, Hummer calls Halls Gap Zoo home, where he is cared for by our dedicated team.
Though he can’t fly free as he once did due to the permanent injuries he sustained, leaving him unable to hunt for himself, Hummer’s story reminds us of the challenges wildlife face every day on our busy roads. Despite his past, Hummer continues to soar in spirit, and we are lucky to have him as a symbol of both the fragility and strength of nature.
Come visit Hummer at Halls Gap Zoo and learn more about these magnificent eagles and the amazing work we do to protect wildlife!

Birri the Tasmanian Devil! 🖤
Tasmanian devils are incredible nighttime scavengers with a sense of smell strong enough to detect carrion up to a kilometer away! At night, they roam long distances, using their keen noses to locate food. And despite their reputation, these little Aussies are known to be quite gentle with each other in social settings, often sharing meals together!

🌿🐾 Meet the brush-tailed rock wallaby! 🐾🌿
This charming marsupial, known for its distinctive brushy tail and agile climbing skills, is a true gem of Australia’s wildlife. Found in rocky outcrops and rugged terrains, these little adventurers are not just adorable; they’re also vital to their ecosystem.
Sadly, their populations have dwindled due to habitat loss and predators. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique creatures and their habitats.
Let’s spread the word and support efforts to keep the brush-tailed rock wallaby bouncing into the future! 💚✨

Perry the perentie! 🦎
Our resident perentie monitor, Perry, has recently learnt to walk outside his enclosure on a lead. This is fantastic enrichment for Perry, as he gets to experience new sights and smells, all the while basking in the warm Victorian spring sun. ☀️
If you see Perry out and about with his keepers, make sure to say hi!
