Puggle Love!

Did you know the name for a baby platypus or echidna is a puggle? I didn’t until the other day. When I heard Mum talking about a Puggle at the work and how it had come into the Wildlife Hospital – I had to ask her what that was?! Then she told me all about Annabelle and Beau. Become a puggle expert by reading more about Beau…

Dinosaurs come to Taronga – meet Alec, Dino Expert!!

I don’t know much about dinosaurs but I have a mate that does! His name is Alec and he is 11 years old. He has loved dinosaurs and animals for ages – like lots of you! I have asked Alec to help me write about the dinosaurs here at Taronga. Here’s what he had to say about our Dinosaur Profile for November – Deinonychus!

Katydids….did you know?
