Auckland Zoo has welcomed some guests from across the Tasman on the eve of Anzac Day.
A mob of forester kangaroos, a subspecies of the eastern grey kangaroos, are settling into the zoo’s Australia Bush Track exhibit under the care of the animal experiences team.
A section of the Australia Bush Track, which also housed emu, brolga and Cunningham’s skinks, would be temporarily closed as the marsupials are introduced to the habitat.
“It’s still early days for the ‘roos to get to know their new surroundings and our kaimahi,” the zoo said in a post to Facebook.
“While we’re excited for you to meet them, we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to see the kangaroos this week.”
Guests wanting to jump at the chance to see them were encouraged to keep an eye on the zoo’s social media and website for updates.
