About African Wild Dog - Sydney Zoo
Welcome to African Wild Dog - Sydney Zoo, located in the beautiful City of Blacktown, New South Wales, Australia. We are thrilled to announce the arrival of a new pack of lively African Painted Dogs, just in time for our post-lockdown reopening on Friday, October 15th. These magnificent creatures have joined us as part of an animal exchange program, which plays a crucial role in the conservation of their species.
In return, Sydney Zoo has sent its pack of four male African Painted Dogs to Altina Wildlife Park, where they will participate in a regional breeding program. These males, originally from the Czech Republic, have brought valuable genetics to the region. Such exchanges between zoos are essential for maintaining genetic diversity and creating vital insurance populations.
Wild dogs are among the most endangered carnivores in Africa, and it is our mission at Sydney Zoo to protect them and educate our guests about their importance. Once found in nearly 40 countries with a population of 500,000 in the wild, African Painted Dogs now face the threat of habitat loss and persecution, leaving their numbers dwindling to a mere 5,000.
Arranging the transportation of these Wild Dogs was no easy task, given the limited travel opportunities during the pandemic. However, we are delighted to announce that they have arrived safely and are settling in well. Our dedicated Carnivore Keeper, Rebecca Nightingale, emphasizes the significance of our efforts to protect and raise awareness about these remarkable animals.
Now, you have the opportunity to meet our new pack of African Painted Dogs at the brand-new Sydney Zoo in Western Sydney. Please keep in mind that your booking is not confirmed until you have signed the indemnity form.
Join us at African Wild Dog - Sydney Zoo and be a part of our mission to preserve and cherish these incredible creatures.
