Australia Zoo

Australian Fauna

Much of the land owned by the Irwin family has been developed into Australia Zoo, the premier showcase among Australian zoos. Steve Irwin's father purchased the land, more than a hundred acres, many years ago. The Australian and Queensland governments have jointly built a major highway parallel to the Sunshine Coast, north to south. This has really put the Irwin property, Australia Zoo, on the tourist route. Steve Irwin's skill, knowledge and personality made him world famous. His family - wife Terri, daughter Bindi and son Robert have continued his work in conserving wildlife. Australia Zoo has Australian animals as well as animals from other countries.

The original small animal park has been redeveloped and made much larger. It has been called Australia Zoo only in recent years. I would say about a third of visitors come from the United States. It is always crowded there now. I believe there are plans on the drawing board to build a motel and convention centre beside Australia Zoo

AUSTRALIAN ZOOS

Mysterious and weird are animals Australia.

Crocodiles are quite prevalent in northern Queensland. In some instances they move onto beaches and into drains. Queensland Parks and Wildlife officers monitor the situation and remove crocodiles if they get too close to people. It is not really people they are interested in: they eat wild pigs as they wander along riverbanks.

Steve & Terri Irwins' book The Crocodile Hunter is enjoyable reading and his DVD is good viewing.

Australian animals feature in Zoos of South Australia.

The Tasmanian tiger is extinct. It was hunted into extinction by Australian farmers who were losing livestock to the animal. Filmed and kept in captivity for a short time, authorities failed to instigate a breeding program. Thus, the species was lost for all time. Thylacinus cynocephalus was a mysterious animal. Very little was learned about its behavior before it died out.

It was like a large dog in size and stance. Indeed, it seems to have evolved as a marsupial dog to fulfill a niche in the environment. The Tasmanian Tiger emitted a muffled bark. When hunting they gave a sharper double bark repeated every few seconds. Though filmed, no sound recording of it exists.
