My Little Travel Study Pocket: Caversham Wildlife Park

14 July 2012

Caversham Wildlife Park

Little info:

Located in Whiteman Park. The park now features about 200 species, and more than 2000 head of animals, birds and reptiles; most housed in a walk-through environment. The park is the premiere development of its kind in Western Australia, attracting visitors from all over the world. Such is the park’s status, that some of its breeding programs are officially recognised by Australian Zoos. David regularly exchanges animals and birds with other parks and zoos, for breeding purposes and to add to the Caversham population. The park has bred its own wombats, koalas, grass owls and cassowaries, which is a significant achievement for a privately owned park.

Visitors to the park are assisted by wildlife professionals, dedicated to exceptional service ensuring our visitors receive the best opportunities for animal interaction, information and photographs.

It was privately owned and operated by WA family. The park do not receive any assistance from the Government.

And now, proudly present the Koala.
Everyone love them.

Interesting Fact about Koala:

Koalas aren't bears as many people are led to believe. They aren't even related to bears. The koala is related to the kangaroo and the wombat. The koala is a marsupial mammal. The reason the koala is called a koala bear is because the koala looks like a teddy bear.
The koala's scientific name is Phasclarctos Cinereus.

Sorry Koala, I shouldn't called you Koala Bear~

Love this most!!! Super super cuteeee!!!!

Koala only stay awake for 4 hours a day.

They spend most of the time sleeping because it requires a lot of energy to digest their toxic, fibrous, low-nutrition diet and sleeping is the best way to conserve energy

We are lucky to see them awake.

and have a chance to touch it.

Sadly we are not allowed to cuddle koala

Next, the Kangaroosss

They have a Kangaroo ground where we can touch them, feed them
