What do you think happens backstage at a zoo? Find out in Fauna, a new podcast from Zoos Victoria. We join the animal keepers, trainers, vets and scientists who work with rare and exotic animals. We’ll also travel to Victoria’s beaches and forests as zoo staff work to save our local species in trouble.
When it comes to intelligence, animals aren’t always given the credit they deserve. But give them a chance, and they might just surprise you. Fauna is produced by Bridie Smith and Bec Fary for Zoos Victoria. Hosted by Annie Last. For music credits and more information, visit the Zoos Victoria website (https://www.zoo.org.au/fighting-extinction/fauna-podcast/).

Marine Responders
Calls to help distressed, entangled or injured wildlife come in from every sandy stretch of Victoria's coastline and Melbourne Zoo keepers are often the first on the scene. Seals are the most common patients - and there aren’t always happy endings. Dog bites, eye injuries resulting in blindness and entanglements frequently result in euthanasia. But some of the cases that come in to the unit are gorgeous: like the penguin who was found at St Kilda beach in 2017 with just one flipper. Fauna is produced by Bridie Smith and Bec Fary for Zoos Victoria. Hosted by Annie Last.
