Our Animals come first
We're proud to be custodians of over 260 species of Native Australian animals
Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park is dedicated to the future of all Australian native animals and takes pride in its role as custodians of the world's largest collection of Australian native animals - with over 2000 native animals in our care. Our Featherdale animals are like family to us, and are exceptional ambassadors for their species.
Echidna
Short-beaked Echidnas belong to a unique group of mammals called Monotremes. Apart from echidnas, the only other animal in the world that belongs to this group is the Platypus.
Lorikeet
Calling all bird lovers to our walk through Lorikeet enclosure. Enjoy our stunning Lorikeets flying around and possibly even landing on you!
Emu
Emus are the world’s second tallest bird, and third heaviest. They are a flightless species- however they do have small wings which they use to cool themselves.
Cassowary
Southern Cassowaries are solitary birds, coming together only during breeding season from July-September
Kookaburra
Laughing Kookaburras are very territorial and sedentary, usually living in small family groups which co-operate in raising young and protecting territory
Tasmanian Devil
Tasmanian Devils are primarily solitary animals, living in territories that may intersect other individual’s territories. Each territory will have 3-4 dens, which can be utilised for years, especially by females with young.
Dingo
Dingoes do not bark as is the case with domestic dogs. The alpha male and female will usually be the only breeding pair in the pack, with other subordinate members assisting in the rearing of pups.
GLOSSY BLACK COCKATOO
Glossy black cockatoos are among Australia’s rarest. When a chick emerges from its tree hollow, it’s a significant moment not just for the proud parents but for the entire species
KOALA
Koalas are not a bear, but are in fact a marsupial. Koalas have thick fur that ranges from very light to very dark grey on the head and body, with white patching on the bottom, chest and ears.
WOODSWALLOW
Extremely social birds, woodswallows are uniquely known for perching closely together as a flock. This behaviour not only strengthens social bonds but also conserves energy and retains warmth through the night.
Penguin
Little Penguins live in colonies that can have hundreds of members ashore at one time. From June-August, males will come ashore and renovate old burrows or dig new ones.
SOUTHERN HAIRY-NOSED WOMBAT
Affectionately known as ‘bulldozers of the bush’, wombats create remarkably large burrow. These underground homes offer perfect protection from extreme climates and predators, ensuring their safety year-round.
Kangaroo Island Kangaroo
Like other Kangaroo species, Kangaroo Island Kangaroos live in mobs consisting of a dominant male, several adult females and subordinate males, and joeys.
Wombat
Common Wombats are a short, robust marsupial native to south-east Australia and Tasmania
Quokka
Often called “the happiest animal in the world”, Quokkas are a small marsupial related to Kangaroos
Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby
Yellow-footed Rock-wallabies live in colonies of up to 100 individuals, consisting of smaller groups with a dominant male, females and sub-dominant males.
