From climbing trees to rolling around on the ground — Giant Pandas Yi Lan and Xing Qiu are always finding new ways to enjoy their day 🐼🌿

But there’s more to these playful moments than meets the eye. As part of a global conservation program, Yi Lan and Xing Qiu are helping raise awareness for their wild cousins in China, where Giant Pandas still face threats from habitat loss.

Every moment we spend learning from them helps shape a future where pandas can thrive — both here and in the wild.

🎉 Happy birthday to one of the loudest voices at Adelaide Zoo — the Siamang, Niran!
Niran is 36 years old today.

These singing apes are known for their impressive vocal calls, which can be heard from over 3km away.

In the wild, Siamangs are threatened by deforestation and the illegal pet trade, but here at the zoo we’re helping protect their future through awareness, education, and breeding programs.

Colobus baby update! 🐒

Our tiniest Colobus is thriving and sticking close to mum Zamba. The snowy coat is still dazzling white for now, but before long it’ll start darkening into the striking black-and-white pattern of the adults.

Born nearly a month ago, this little one is a big reminder of the important role zoos play in protecting species under pressure. In the wild, Black-and-white Colobus monkeys face threats from habitat loss and hunting so every successful birth here is a win for the future.

Come meet the Colobus family at Adelaide Zoo and see her fluffy white coat while it lasts!

🐒 Sibling Shenanigans at Adelaide Zoo! 🐒

Meet Lily (almost 3) and her cheeky younger brother Jabari (2), two of our youngest Hamadryas baboons. In this clip, Jabari's showing off his ball skills while Lily plots her next move, classic sibling rivalry!

These playful antics aren't just adorable, they're essential. Play helps young baboons develop the social and physical skills they'll need as adults. Our troop, including mum Quasi, dad Tomkay, grandma Chappi, uncle Djibouti, and Djibouti's partner Mahali, all contribute to raising these energetic youngsters.

While Hamadryas baboons are currently listed as Least Concern, habitat loss due to agricultural expansion poses a growing threat in parts of their native range.

By visiting Adelaide Zoo, you're supporting vital conservation efforts that help protect species like the Hamadryas baboon. Every ticket, donation, or membership aids in our mission to connect people with nature and save species from extinction.
Come see the troop in action and learn more about how you can make a difference!

Conservation Conversations | Red-tailed Phascogales return to Scotia 🐾🌾

In an exciting milestone for native species conservation, we recently partnered with Australian Wildlife Conservancy to release 93 Red-tailed Phascogales into Scotia Wildlife Sanctuary – marking their return to the region after more than a century!

Bred right here at Adelaide Zoo, these tiny, carnivorous marsupials are part of a broader recovery effort to restore populations in safe, predator-free habitats.

Watch the video to see conservation in action—and how your support helps us give threatened species a fighting chance.

Say hello to the newest (and fluffiest) face at Adelaide Zoo!

Born on 29 May to mum Zamba, this baby Black-and-white Colobus monkey is already turning heads with its snowy white coat, a striking contrast to the sleek black and white look of the adults. The black colouring will come in slowly over the next few months, so keep an eye out for the transformation!

With grandma Amanda and aunty Adale lending a hand, this little one is getting the full family treatment

The baby is yet to be named and we’re still waiting to confirm the s*x, but one thing’s for sure it’s already stealing hearts.

In the wild, these striking monkeys are under pressure from habitat loss and hunting so every birth here plays a small part in helping secure their future.

Come and say hello to our growing Colobus crew!
