Ungulate Keeper, Taronga Zoo 

What animals do you work with?

The new male zebra has settled into Taronga Zoo. Zebra keeper Adam said that “the two boys get along great and the new, younger male is starting to challenge the adult male for his position, as expected”.

Taronga Zebra Shani moved from Taronga to Werribee as part of a regional breeding program for the species.

A team from Taronga Zoo travel to the Snowy Mountains to find Corroboree Frog eggs that they hope will help save the species, while back in Sydney staff await the arrival of a new Zebra and at the same time have to say goodbye to an old friend.
