The bachelor group of rare Madagascan primates, which have just made the journey from Dubbo, will delight you as they pounce through the branches and walk upright in their lush exhibit. The lemurs are adept at beating the cold and love to indulge in group sunbathing sessions in the cooler weather.
The Meerkats too can be seen beating the winter chill by basking under heat lamps in their African desert-themed home.
Taronga’s majestic Brown Bear, Bethyl, will also be kept warm over the frosty period thanks to her long shaggy fur which acts like a warm coat.
Taronga also have some residents who enjoy a frosty swim this winter. At Taronga’s aquatic mega-exhibit, Great Southern Oceans, the Zoo’s Leopard Seals, ‘Casey’ and ‘Sabine’ are revelling in the winter weather.
While the Zoo animals are enjoying the cooler weather, visitors can be sure of plenty of shelter and warmth in Taronga’s heated and underground exhibits, such as the Rainforest Cone at Taronga’s Reptile World and the Nocturnal House. Also keep an eye out for ‘Angus’ the Rufus Owl in the Zoo’s Australia’s Nightlife nocturnal exhibit, which, after many years of delighting visitors at Taronga’s Free Flight Bird Show, has retired in this exhibit.
Taronga is open every day of the year from 9:00am until 5:00pm.
