25.01.2022 Important update for all our followers - Zoodoo is now closed for 6 weeks while we focus on much-needed upgrades and develop some exciting new experiences and products to better suit our local community - Reopening Saturday 26th September, in time for school holidays! We're headed in an exciting new direction and will be pleased to share our vision with you as it is developed :) * Those with prebooked activities have been contacted and accommodated. * Those with gift vouc...hers and e-tickets will have expiry dates extended. Apologies for any inconvenience caused to anyone planning to come over the next 6 weeks but as this is our offpeak season we need to take the time to make these changes for a stronger post-covid future. Big thank you for the ongoing community support over these challenging times -- See you soon! Stay tuned for regular updates.
23.01.2022 Always Was, Always Will Be. We at Zoodoo would like to recognise the traditional owners of the land the Zoo was founded on, the Palawa people of Lutruwita, and the Merrimenner people of the Oyster Bay territory. We pay our respects to elders past, present, and emerging. The theme of this NAIDOC Week is Always Was, Always Will Be. Recognising the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples who have occupied and cared for this land for ove...r 65,000 years. We are constantly inspired by the First Australian's connection to native animals and landscapes and shall continue to educate ourselves on this vital culture and incorporate traditional stories into the future vison of Zoodoo. #NAIDOC2020

19.01.2022 What can be found on the Zoodoo refuge? On Wednesday 2 September students from the UTAS Avian and UTAS Biodiversity club did a site survey of the ZooDoo refuge. The survey included a habitat measurement, a plant species survey, and a bird species survey. The club found many shrub trees and small insectivorous birds, indicators for healthy habitat. Bird species spotted include Spotted Pardalote (Pardalotus punctatus), Striated Pardalote (Pardalotus striatus), Silvereye (Zoster...ops lateralis), Superb Fairywren (Malurus cyaneus) and more. Stay tuned for more community engagement opportunities at the Zoodoo refuge!
