Naturalistic Exhibits
Perth Zoo aims to provide naturalistic exhibits with safe, comfortable accommodation for animals with adequate opportunities for privacy, while also providing good opportunities for visitors to see these animals in a natural surrounding.
This means that in most exhibits there is an abundance of greenery or other vegetation or areas which animals can use for cover. You may need to be patient to see some animals.
Keepers at work
For the safety of keeping and maintenance staff and for the comfort of the animals, some animals are moved to their night-quarters whilst cleaning or maintenance is carried out on their exhibits.
Medical checks
Perth Zoo has a comprehensive preventative health-care program for its animals. Regular health-checks ensure the physical well-being of our animals.
If an animal is off display when you visit, try again later in the day.
