Taronga Zoo is Sydney's major zoo and features over 4,000 animals in its waterfront estate. Watch zookeeper talks and animal displays or find out about wildlife conservation. Native animals take centre stage at Wild Life Sydney, where you'll find creatures from all over the continent, including koalas, kangaroos and tropical butterflies.
