🌿🐾 Threatened Species Day 🐾🌿

Today, we recognise Threatened Species Day, an opportunity to reflect on the incredible native species that need our help to survive and thrive.

From freshwater sawfish and northern quolls to many other unique Australian animals, conservation efforts play a vital role in protecting our wildlife for future generations.

Every species matters, and through research, education, habitat protection and community awareness, we can all play a part in securing their future.

Together, we can help ensure these remarkable animals remain part of Australia's story for generations to come. πŸ’š

πŸ’™ Happy Father’s Day! πŸ’™

Today we're celebrating all the amazing dads, father figures and carers who help their families grow and thrive.

Did you know that in the emu world, it's dad who takes on the parenting duties? After the eggs are laid, the male emu incubates them for around 56 days and then cares for his chicks, protecting and guiding them as they grow.

πŸͺΆ Now that's some serious dad dedication!
Happy Father's Day from all of us at the Territory Wildlife Park. πŸ’š
