“Stop taking photos and give me my dinner” 😤

Tai isn’t a fan of this heat, but he’ll still strike a pose for the camera 📸

During the school holidays, we spend a lot of time visiting early childhood care centres all across Perth. With modified sessions to suit all age groups, our smallest family members still get to learn whilst also engaging with our animals (sometimes for their first time ever)! 💚

A very important meeting…invites only ⛔️

With the recent negative portrayal of dingoes in mind, let us be reminded of the true importance of this species in Australia. Dingoes are highly intelligent, inquisitive, and naturally timid animals, who play a vital keystone role in Australia’s ecosystem. Without them, ecological balance is disrupted, placing other native Australian species at risk. Let us not demonise an apex predator out of fear, but instead learn to respect and understand them, and honour their place in this country 🐕
