Mogo Zoo, Zoo in Mogo, Australia.
Mogo Zoo sits within natural bushland and houses around 200 animals including rhinos, zebras, giraffes, and primates. The layout guides visitors through different habitat zones where animals live in conditions that resemble their native environments.
The zoo was founded in the early 1990s and has grown as a regional animal facility since then. In 2019 the facility faced a major test when staff successfully protected all animals during approaching bushfires.
The zoo works with international partners on conservation breeding programs that focus on endangered species survival. Visitors witness these efforts through the dedicated care and specialized facilities designed for different animal groups.
The zoo is open daily from morning to early afternoon, and comfortable walking shoes are recommended since paths wind through natural terrain. Parking and restroom facilities are available on-site along with designated areas for picnicking.
During the 2019 bushfires, staff members took smaller animals including monkeys and a red panda into their own homes to escape the approaching flames. This extraordinary action reveals how personally invested the staff are in protecting every single resident.
