New Life Needs a Helping Hand
Monifa is truly lucky by name and nature. Unable to stand or feed when she was born, she could have died if not for the 24-hour, dedicated care of her keepers. Monifa is now healthy, well and adapting to her new home. The new-born Pygmy Hippo is not the only critically endangered species to need 24-hour care from her keepers.
Frog Appeal
Frogs are facing the greatest species extinction crisis since the demise of the dinosaurs.
It is not widely known that nearly half of all amphibian species world-wide are declining and threatened with extinction.
Do something amazing today
You can do something amazing today and help save a species. The Tassie Devil needs your help right now as it is facing extinction in the wild.
I'm Nick De Vos and one of my responsibilities as a senior keeper is managing the Tassie Devils at Taronga Zoo. Tassie Devils are being wiped out in the wild at an alarming rate due to a horrific cancer. Taronga and Taronga Western Plains Zoos are working with other zoos across Australia to breed an insurance population of devils to release back into the wild when it's safe to do so.
