There are several major zoos around Australia, but the largest zoo there is Taronga Zoo in Sydney. Covering 69 acres, opposite the city center of Sydney, Taronga Zoo enjoys some great waterfront views of the city. The zoo was founded in 1916 and today is home to 350 species and over 4,000 animals across its eight zoogeographic regions. As to be expected, you’ll see loads of native Australian wildlife here, including tree kangaroos, koalas, and emus. But the zoo also features some incredibly rare creatures from around the world like sun bears and endangered Sumatran tigers.
