Grace, the barking owl, clearly isn’t a fan of visiting the doctor! She was found sitting in a driveway and was brought to us at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. The vets discovered she had a fractured wing, and she went straight into surgery. She may look grumpy, but we’re sure she’s grateful… deep down!

Billy, the eastern coastal free-tailed microbat, flew into a window while chasing insects. He became a fast favourite among the team at the wildlife hospital, filled with personality, and is exceptionally curious! How sweet is that face?!

When Glen the feathertail glider arrived at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, he weighed just 4 grams. He was attacked by a domestic dog, but this tiny fighter is now receiving round-the-clock care, with every bit of love helping him grow stronger.

We can’t get over the CUTENESS of Mazzy the echidna puggle!

Remember Douglas, the tiny koala joey that was admitted to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital in April? This is him now, coming in for a check-up with our wonderful vet team.

He was rushed to us at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, where our veterinary team was waiting for his arrival. Charlie’s journey is now one of healing, love, and second chances. He’s now being cared for by dedicated wildlife specialists, who are giving him round-the-clock attention, a warm pouch, LOTS of bottle feeds, and plenty of love.
