Mogo Zoo
Mogo Zoo is a small privately owned zoo in Mogo on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is a member of ARAZPA and has had success in breeding programs for endangered species, including the snow leopard, cotton-top tamarin, red panda, and Sumatran tiger. It is one of only two zoos in Australia exhibit white lions (the other being the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra . Unlike most small Australian zoos, Mogo Zoo focuses on exotic species. It is owned by Sally Padey.[1]
Mogo Zoo exhibits include a small reptile house, a large African savanna, and a series of islands for primate species. The zoo is currently building an exhibit for a pair of chimpanzees that were not wanted in any other zoos in Australia, an act typical of the zoo's propensity for adopting unwanted animals.[1] Until recently it held the only kea in any Australian zoo, and was also the home of the last red-handed tamarin in Australasia. Other previously held species include the little penguin, cougar, and crab-eating macaque.
