Zoodoo Wildlife Park
Zoodoo Zoo is a wildlife park about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) from Richmond, Tasmania in Australia. It is spread over 90 hectares (220 acres).[1]
Zoodoo Zoo is a hands-on safari and native animal park. Visitors are able to feed lions, meet reptiles, and see Tasmanian devils and other Australian native animals up close every day during keeper talks and through close encounter packages. Encounters enable small groups of visitors to book time with a particular animal and keeper to actually enter the animals habitat and interact with them on the choice of the animal to do so. Zoodoo opened in 1999 with a small collection of native rescued and orphaned wildlife species. It has since expanded its facilities and animal collection, with exotic animal species including lions and primates, as well as having a large section dedicated to native animals. In its 21st year of operation the zoo changed hands and management and is now embarking on a new vision for the future and has developed a concept plan and vision strategy to carry it forward in line with evolving needs and expectations of society and for the conservation of biodiversity. The Zoo became accredited with the Zoo Aquarium Association of Australasia in March 2020 and is independently assessed annually for meeting international standards of animal welfare based on the 5 domains model.
As part of its new future the zoo also declared 300 acres behind the zoo of threatened vegetation communities along the Coal River Tier, as a wildlife refuge. The first step of which involved registering the land with The Tasmanian Land Conservancies 'Land for Wildlife' program.
