OUR FEATHERED, FURRY AND SCALY ANIMALS

Kids love comparing different animal groups and recognising similarities and differences to themselves.

These are just a few they may get to meet:

Connor - Barking Owl

The Barking Owl feeds on a variety of small to medium sized mammals, birds, reptiles and insects.

Socks & Sandals - Sugar Gliders

Sugar Gliders are marsupials meaning they keep their young in a pouch.

Tortellini - Murray River Turtle

The Murray River Turtle has a clever technique for breathing under water, they can breath through their bottom.

Russel - Shingleback Lizard

You may think it’s unfortunate but the Shingleback lizard appears to have two heads. He uses it as a decoy to confuse other animals.

Boof - Frilled Neck Dragon

One of Australia’s most iconic animals is the Frilled Neck Lizard, famous for their extremely impressive frills which they use to ward off predators.

Tammy - Woma Python

The Woma Python is found throughout desert habitats of central Australia and they actually feed on other reptiles.

Tiny - Olive Python

The Olive Python is the largest species of snake in Australia, reaching up to 6 metres in length and weighing up to 70 kilograms.
