Do you have a favourite animal at the Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo?

July 9, 2021 By Maggi Barnard

Enter our competition below to stand a chance to win a family pass to the zoo to see Sabi and all the other amazing animals.

Meerkats are very popular and look cute and cuddly, but they are capable of killing a cobra! The meerkat troupe attracts a lot of fans.

 

This is Sabi, a critically endangered black rhino calf, born in February at the Dubbo Zoo. With only around 6,000 black rhinos left in the wild, Sabi’s birth this year is a big part of the effort to protect the animal.

 

Each zebra has a unique pattern of stripes, as individual as a human’s fingerprint. At Taronga you can study their stripes from up close.
