Tasmania Zoo, Wildlife sanctuary in West Tamar, Australia.
Tasmania Zoo is a wildlife facility in West Tamar that houses over 100 animal species across expansive grounds. The enclosures are designed to reflect natural habitats, accommodating both Australian and international animals.
The facility opened in 2003 beginning with a modest collection of birds and local species. It has since grown into Tasmania's largest animal collection.
The zoo serves as an educational hub where visitors learn about animal behavior and conservation needs through hands-on experiences. Local communities view it as a place where wildlife awareness becomes part of everyday conversation.
The zoo sits approximately 18 kilometers from Launceston and is easily accessible by car. Wheelchair access is available, and visitors can find picnic areas and a gift shop on the grounds.
The facility houses a notably large primate collection, including the only black crested macaques found anywhere in Australia. These rare monkeys draw visitors specifically wanting to see species unavailable elsewhere in the country.
