The Cotton-top Tamarin happens to be so-named by its distinctive fluffy white crest that takes many of us back to the 80s. These pint-sized monkeys bear an uncanny resemblance to a certain theoretical physicist — and they’re among the newest residents to grace the Sanctuary grounds in the all-new ‘Lost Valley’ precinct. So, without further…

Capybaras are curious animals. While they don’t look like your run-of-the-mill street or kitchen cupboard-dweller, these South American natives are the largest rodents in the world.

Nestled in the heart of the city’s coastal eucalyptus and rainforest are four shiny red, blue and green trains so loved by the local and international community, they’ve made their way onto the Queensland heritage register….
Aussies are always insisting on doing things a little differently – and the same goes for those age-old traditions. Instead of celebrating a certain well-known holiday bunny, an Easter in the land down under shines a light on a rather unsuspecting long-eared and pointy-nosed creature: the Greater Bilby. The bilby is important to Australians for many…
