Have you learnt about Barbary Sheep before?

🐏 They are neither a sheep or a goat (even though they look like both). They are their own type of genus Ammotragus and are the only species in that category.

🐏They are built for natural rocky environments. Their split hooves allow them to grip onto small rock faces, and they can jump up to 2m from a standstill.

🐏 Both male and females have horns which measure up to 59cm in length. Males generally have larger horns, as they use them during competition for breeding rights and dominance displays.

Visit today to meet our herd of male Barbary Sheep!!

✨️✨️✨️Fast Fact Friday✨️✨️✨️

Do you know these facts about Blue Tongue Lizards?

🦎There are 6 subspecies of Blue Tongue Lizards in Australia! Plus another 6 that are found in Indonesia. The Australian subspecies include Blotched, Centralian, Eastern, Northern, Pygmy & Western.

🦎 When a Blue Tongue feels extremely threatened (and their tongue hasn't scared away potential predators) they will drop their tails as a means to escape. Don't worry though, they will slowly grow it back.

🦎Blue Tongues will commonly eat snails and slugs. This means they are at risk in our gardens if you use pesticide. Certain companies use ingredients that are deemed "safe" in case a lizard eats the bait or the snails.

While our Lizard pit is currently under maintenance to prepare for summer, we have a range of other reptiles on display to say hello to!!

Time to learn about Tawny Frogmouths!!

🪶Many people confuse this species for owls but they are in fact a type of bird. Their most closest relative is a nightjar. In comparison to owls, their feet are weaker and their talons aren't curved.

🪶They are found throughout all of Australia, mainly on the East Coast. Their habitats include heathlands, forests and urban areas.

🪶Their breeding season is between August-Decembers. Pairs that live in more arid environments are also more likely to breed after heavy rain.

Visit this weekend and say hello to our 5 Fawny Frogmouths👋
