Happy Father’s Day from Eric 💚

Male cassowaries take on the parenting duties, incubating the eggs for around 50 days before continuing to raise and protect their chicks for up to another 9 months.

Eric might not be a dad himself, but he’s still helping us celebrate some seriously dedicated dads in the animal world.

A little more of the world to explore each day. 🐨🌿

Oakley is starting to emerge from the pouch and take in their surroundings. As koala joeys grow, they gradually spend more time outside the pouch, while still staying close to mum for comfort and protection.

Fatso the Wombat received a special shoutout as A Country Practice was inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame — sending us straight into the Featherdale archives.

Fatso was brought to life by different wombats over the years, all of whom called Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park home during their time on the show. On filming days, they were chauffeured to and from the set before returning home for well-earned pats, carrots and a nap.

Take a trip down memory lane through some of Fatso’s Featherdale days. Did you ever meet Fatso at Featherdale? Share your memories — and any photos you still have — in the comments.
