Taronga behind the scenes documentary

Episode 10: HALLOWEEN

It’s Trick or Treat for some of the zoo’s favourite animals, as Halloween comes to Taronga.

Episode overview

Episode 10: HALLOWEEN

Have you ever wondered how an elephant gets an x-ray? In tonight's episode, we join our elephant keepers and vets as they undertake the painstaking process of x-raying our much-loved Asian Elephant, Tang Mo’s feet. 

Keepers have to be on their game, as one wrong step, could destroy some seriously expensive medical equipment. With stormy weather and a huge swell to contend with, it’s all hands on deck as Taronga’s vet team set sail for their biggest Sea Turtle release ever! 
And it's Trick or Treat time for some very lucky residents, as Halloween comes to Taronga.

Air date: Friday 30th of December at 7.30pm on Channel Nine.
