i prefer giraffes tho, these are the largest enclosures i've seen but i don't think they should be held in captivity #melbournezoo #giraffes

Went to the Melbourne zoo today for my twin niece and nephew’s 5th birthday. The newly born baby giraffe was my highlight for sure #melbournezoo
Eight-year-old lion Zuberi had to take a trip to the dentist after breaking a tooth whilst chomping on a bone at Melbourne Zoo 🦷
The 175kg lion wore hand-knitted mittens on his paws during the operation to keep him warm 🦁

on what is now the site of Melbourne Zoo, Wurundjeri people were "encouraged" to travel from their home in Coranderrk and sit in this Victorian "living-diorama" with traditional clothes & artefacts (complete with a stuffed & posed dingo staring at the viewer) a HUMAN ZOO constructed for paying White visitors to observe "real live Aboriginals in their natural state"
Beruk Barak (“William Barak”) born in 1823 near Croydon, succeeded his cousin “Simon” Wonga as ngurunggaeta in 1875, before them it was Bebejan, Beruk Barak’s father. Billibellary (Beruk Barak’s uncle) was a signatory to John Batman’s 1835 “treaty” at Merri Creek, when Beruk Barak was 12 years old. He died in 1903. Aunty Doreen Garvey-Wandin is a current Wurundjeri Elder and Great Granddaughter Of William Barak

Before this trip, I didn't know cancer has taken out 80% of the tasmanian devil population! It's really sad to hear, but I'm glad the Melbourne Zoo is doing so much for conservation ❤

There were soooo many different animals! There was even a racoon hiding under a roof, but he wasn't part of the exhibits 😂
