Can I hold a koala and cuddle?

Koala encounter is one of the most exciting things to indulge in while exploring the Aussie wildlife. However, koalas are protected species under the National Park and Wildlife act 1974. Therefore, koalas and human contact should be minimised at all times to ensure koalas maintain a healthy fear for human presence. The Featherdale wildlife park only allows visitors to pat a koala and same time take a happy snap as a souvenir.

What are the kangaroo varieties in Australia?

Without kangaroos, Australia would be incomplete. The Red Kangaroo, Eastern Grey Kangaroo, Western Grey Kangaroo, Antilopine Kangaroo, Common Wallaroo, and Black Wallaroo are among the kangaroo species found in this country. These species can be found all over Australia. Eastern grey is the common variety of kangaroos you can spot In Sydney and the suburbs.

Can I feed a kangaroo?

Yes, you can feed kangaroos. 

In fact, no trip to Australia is complete without meeting kangaroos up and close. So if you are interested in meeting these animals and feeding them, you can head straight towards the Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park. Here, you can undertake the kangaroo and marsupial walk under which you hand-feed kangaroos with Featherdale’s special kangaroo food!

Are koala’s ‘at risk of extinction’ from Australia?  

Yes, Australia’s koalas are at risk of extinction. During the late 1800s and early 1900s, it is estimated that about 8 million koalas were murdered for their furs. Apart from that, habitat damage, bushfires, accidents, and other factors contribute to koala decline. The Australian Koala Foundation claims that fewer than 100,000 wild Koalas are left, which may be as low as 43,000. As a result, Queensland’s koalas are classified as “VULNERABLE” under the EPBC Act and the Queensland Nature Conservation Act.
