Tata lizards

A few weeks ago we got a frantic call from a worker in a child care centre who had found "snake" eggs in the childrens sand pit. We carefully removed them (Primarily for the eggs safety - we knew they weren't snake eggs!) and placed them in an incubator. Today all three of them hatched. They are called tata lizards or northern water dragons. Since they are all fine and healthy and don't need parental care, we fed them full of crickets and released them back safely in to the wild.

Antilopine wallaroo

This little joey is a baby antilopine wallaroo. Her mother was hit by a car and died. She was in her mothers pouch at the time. The driver didn't stop but fortunately some one else did. She would have been a hard breaking site her standing next to her dead mum in the sun. She was quite dehydrated when she came to us and had damage to her hock (ankle) which needed surgery to fix. She is doing well now but will be in care for many months to come before she is old enough to return to the wild.
