Taronga Zoo Sydney

Taronga Zoo Sydney is one step closer to welcoming back one of its most beloved experiences, with construction kicking off to upgrade the Zoo’s iconic Sky Safari, ahead of a late 2027 reopening. First launched in 1987, the Sky Safari was a much‑loved feature of Taronga Zoo for more than 30 years and has been greatly missed since it retired in 2023. The start of construction marks a major milestone in bringing back the reimagined experience for today’s visitors and future generations.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo has released never-before-seen footage of Siamang duo Kasarna and Kasem performing the iconic call of their species. Siamangs have the loudest call of any primate species, with every bonded pair forming a completely unique duet. Kasarna and Kasem made their public debut together in December 2025 and are still refining their sound.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo is devastated by the stillbirth of an Asian Elephant calf. Our experienced keepers had been watching expectant mother Anjalee around the clock and observed that after initial signs of labour, the birth did not progress as expected. Sadly, despite the best efforts of the Zoo’s keeping and veterinary teams, Anjalee gave birth to a stillborn calf late on Thursday. Anjalee and the female herd are doing well, with Thong Dee, Porntip and Kanlaya staying close to her side.

1. Fabric Wrapping Paper Scraps of old fabric can make beautiful, colourful wrapping for your gifts – and the best part is, you can re-use again and again without fear of ripping or crinkling. You can iron if you wish, and sticky tape as usual, or tie knots to secure your wrap. Discuss with your family and agree to reuse each year, removing the pressure (and mess) of buying wrapping paper.

Marine turtles are being tagged and tracked in an initiative to better understand the movements and habitat use of turtles along the New South Wales (NSW) coast.
