Winter is a great time to visit the Reptile House at Melbourne Zoo - especially
if it's cold outside!
Catch you in the Reptile House this winter at Melbourne Zoo!
the World of frogs
Also part of the Reptile
House is the fascinating
World of Frogs exhibit,
showcasing the incredible
conservation work
being undertaken by our
dedicated reptile keepers.
Hear the survival stories of
the Southern Corroboree
Frog, the Baw Baw Frog, the
Spotted Tree Frog and the
Stuttering Frog – four local
species Zoos Victoria has
committed to protecting
from imminent extinction.
Sadly this story is not
unique, with frogs
species around the
globe experiencing rapid
population decline due to
Amphibian Chytrid Fungus
– a disease thought to
have originated in Africa.
Currently there is no cure
for this deadly disease.
You can learn more about
their unique stories in the
World of Frogs exhibit, just
adjacent to the Reptile
House at Melbourne Zoo.
