An impressive array of animals greets the visitor to the new Darling Downs Zoo. Our animals come to us from other zoos or wildlife parks, private breeders, aviculturalists and herpetologists. Some of them had been injured or orphaned animals that were deemed not suitable for release to the wild so they will now have a safe and happy life with us. Already you can see brilliantly coloured Macaws from South America, snappy Crocodiles, mischievous Monkeys from South-east Asia, haughty Peruvian Llamas, tiny rainforest Marmosets, Ssssssssnakes galore, bouncing Baboons from Africa, two prides of mighty Lions, Green Iguanas from Brazil and exotic Parrots of all sizes and colours. Ducks, Lizards, Swans, Pelican, Kangaroos, Ostriches, Dingo, Emu, Waterbirds, Turtles and Tortoises are some more of the species to call the new zoo home. Darling Downs Zoo is continually expanding!any of our animals have shown their approval of their new home by breeding and raising families here. Lion cubs, baby Monkeys, Black Cockatoos, Llama, Bettong, Lizards, Pythons, Kangaroos, Wallabies, Blackbuck Antelope, Camel, Lorikeets, Ostrich, Macaws, Alexandrines, Moustache Parrots and Eclectus Parrots have been among the early arrivals and many more births are expected as the zoo progresses. Burmese Pythons are now on display as well as Boa Constrictors and a Yellow Anaconda. Koala are also now in residence for the first time. After years of planning we are finally able to welcome our young White Lions to the zoo. The male was born on 21/07/09 and the female on 06/08/09. They have flown all the way from South Africa, had their required quarantine and arrived at the zoo on 18th February 2010. They are truly stunning! New lion cubs born! One on the 9th October to our girl, Irene and three the very next day to Delilah!
