Meet a Very Special Echidna |
|
 The newest addition to our Potoroo Palace family, a very plucky little survivor, moved in to her new enclosure next to the Lizard sunning area on Thursday 24th July after spending her mandatory six weeks in quarantine.
She is a young white Echidna - a naturally occurring albino - which though generally rare in the animal kingdom, does pop up quite a bit in Echidnas. This little Echidna has had some extra challenges, which, combined with her unusual colouring, resulted in her being rescued from the wild and spending time in care. |

Would you like to be a Friend of Potoroo Palace? Potoroo Palace was purchased and taken over less than four years ago in a very run-down condition. It was set up by the purchaser, a passionate local wildlife carer, as a Not-for-Profit community project. Since then, more than $ 1.5 million has been spent upgrading the living conditions of all the animals and their environment, with wonderful results. The main aim of Potoroo Palace is to educate YOU about native Australian animals, and especially our local species. |

 Blinky the koala has settled happily into his new home at Potoroo Palace.
His meeting with Suzie, our long term resident female koala was exciting in many ways. Blinky spent a long time sniffing the bark of trees where Suzie had been. Meanwhile, Suzie, looking very pretty, totally ignored him. Eventually Blinky came over to Suzie's tree. She bit him. Blinky responded by snatching a mouthful of fur from her back. Small arguments happened throughout the day but at the end of the day they were snuggled up together. |
