Australia

What can you discover?

Australia

When Europeans discovered Australia in the 17th century, they weren’t particularly impressed by the continent. It seemed barren and unwelcoming, and even the local wildlife left them disappointed. In the most remote areas, they found no large animals like tigers, elephants, or giraffes. But at Zlín Zoo, we’ll show you that appearances can be deceiving — and that the Australian continent has a unique charm all its own.

Kiwi and kea

Interesting facts:

  • An exhibit dedicated to the unique fauna of New Zealand.

  • Brown kiwis are crepuscular and nocturnal, so their natural day–night rhythm is carefully maintained.

  • A live camera feed from the kiwis’ resting burrow is displayed on a screen near the exhibit, allowing visitors to observe them even when they’re hidden.

Species kept here:
