Meet the Keeper

Examining a wombat

Meet the Keeper presentations are scheduled every day. From iconic species such as koalas and kangaroos, to threatened species such as Tasmanian Devils, our inspirational keepers share their unique knowledge and insight into the animals they care for. Learn about the Australian environment and how you can help to conserve wildlife and habitats.
