Ngā mihi o te tau hou / Happy New Year! Its almost 2023, a perfect time to share some highlights from ‘the year that was’ and say a heartfelt thank you for all your support.
It’s been a special year for us – as we continue to celebrate 100 years of being Auckland’s Zoo!
It was an incredible year for the animal whānau at the Zoo with the arrival of two Sunda gharial crocodiles and Sumatran tigers Ramah and Zayana ahead of the completion of our immersive South East Asia Jungle Track.
There was also a whole host of animals who hatched or were born this year - including two flamingo chicks, more tiny Galápagos tortoises, the successful hand-rear and reintroduction of a kororā / little penguin chick in a move towards a sustainable colony, as well as the births of Southern white rhino calf Amali, giraffe calf Jabali and orangutan baby Bahmi!
