The Wacky Wombat
Wombats are really cool little marsupials which are only found in Australia. These guys live in burrows and have strong claws for digging. Their pouch faces backwards so that soil doesn’t collect and cover the young wombats as they are burrowing around. Funnily they use their backsides to defend themselves! Their skin is hardened so that it is hard for predators like dingoes to bite in to it. When threatened the Wombat will dive down his nearest burrow and block it with his bum! There are only three species of Wombat and each one is only found in a few selected regions of Australia. The Common Wombat is, as its [read on...]
Population Invasion – 7 Billion People and Counting
With Planet Earth projected to hit a human population of 7 billion people before the end of 2011, many questions arise. What is the effect on our planet and is there a limit to how many human beings planet earth can support? There is a limit to the amount of natural resources our planet can provide to sustain an ever-increasing population.

Meet Heidi the cross-eyed Opossum, a magnificent marsupial creature who has recently been taken in at the Leipzig Zoo in Germany. This marsupial has become an overnight internet media sensation even being given her own song! Soon she will even be available as a plush toy. In recent years Germany has established a great record of raising celebrity animals. Back in 2007 Knut the baby Polar Bear cub became famous when the Berlin zoo had to hand rear him after he was rejected by his mother. [read on...]
Rhino Update!
Rhino’s have been in the news a lot lately so it feels like a good time to give you all a heads up with what the gossip is! Disturbingly the news is not too positive. Last year saw the relocation of four Northern White Rhino’s back to Africa in an effort to sustain and improve their species before they go extinct. On a more positive note things are still progressing fantastically well with the Northern White Rhinos at Ol Pejeta Conservancy. In the Serengeti National Park in South Africa we hear of the incredible story of conservationist and Rhino expert Berry White who had to act quickly before a bush [read on...]
