Fauna & Flora

4. Zoos

Europeans have been fascinated by the strange Australian Fauna and Flora since its discovery. But the first zoo wasn't established until 1862. It was Melbourne zoo. 

Nowadays, Australia has a wealth of public and private zoos. Some of them emphasize a lot their breeding programs for saving the endangered species. 

"Zootober" or the "Zoo Month" takes place each year, during the month of October. This festival provides a lot of opportunities for zoos to promote their parcs and their animals.
