perspective of the everyday lives of the
amazing animals that live at your zoos.

I love this photo because
these were the first Helmeted
Honeyeater chicks hatched
for the 2017-18 breeding
season and it was my first year
working on the program. It was
really exciting to be involved
first-hand in the breeding of
our Victorian Bird Emblem and
a critically endangered species.

LION TrEATS
During the summer we often
give our lions icy-poles to help
keep them cool but with a bit
of a meaty-twist! Lion cub
Ndidi is a fiery character and
definitely put on a show while
he demolished his icy treat
over the summer.
