AU2007 - Sydney Wildlife World

Officially opened in 2006, Sydney Wildlife World is a zoo in the city of Sydney, located on the shores of Darling Harbour and is attached to Sydney Aquarium.

 

 

The Sydney Wildlife World is unusual for a zoo in that it is entirely enclosed and air-conditioned. So, its like going to the aquarium to see kangaroos and koalas.

 

 

The reported AUD$45 million development features over 6000 native animals in several exhibition floors. Exhibits include Flutter Bys (Butterflies), …

 

 

… Scales and Tails (Reptiles), …

 

 

… Spineless Wonders (Invertebrates), …

 

 

… Nocturnal After Dark (Nocturnal animals), …

 

 

… Walking on Air (Flight Canyon), …

 

 

… Red Heart (Semi-Arid Grasslands), …

 

 

… High and Dry (Wallaby), …

 

 

… Lush Canopy (Rainforest), ..

 

 

and Gum Tree Gully (Koala Sanctuary).

 

 

I guess an indoor zoo with animals behind glass is a new concept that will take over the traditional zoos in the near future in every city.
