Australia is still burning and we are committed to lending a hand.

We are planning events to raise money to ease the pain of all the loss.

This effort is near and dear to our hearts. Our Director of Animal Care and Veterinary Services, Scott Chambers, hails from Australia. He knows firsthand the effects such devastation can have on humans and animals alike. Scott has worked at several facilities in Australia. 

Kicking off our "Help Australia" campaign, on February 14th, 15th, 16th and 17th we have several fun activities planned throughout the day including Emu feedings/interactions, Galapagos Tortoise feedings, and Capybara feedings/interactions just to name a few. 

Stay tuned for further details! Be sure to check our website austinzoo.org and our FaceBook page next week for the updates!

We have several methods available for you to help. We will be selling Australia items in our Gift Shop, be sure to stop by and check out everything we will have. You may also help Australia by submitting a donation through PayPal (please include a note under your donation amount when paying that your funds are for Australia).
