A CHANCE TO RELEASE YOUR INNER ANIMAL
DO YOU share a name with a cuddly, feathery or scaly creature? Then we have good news for you.
This Sunday, selected zoos and wildlife sanctuaries around Australia are giving free entry to anyone with an animal surname to celebrate the launch of the Great Australian Wildlife Book Collection by Discovery and Animal Planet, in conjunction with the Sunday Tasmanian.
The collection of 15 books features beautiful imagery of the most interesting and iconic animals from a variety of landscapes across
Australia. “As much as 90 per cent of our native species aren’t found anywhere else, and while you may think you know a lot about them, there’s still so much to learn,” Discovery Australia and New Zealand general manager Rebecca Kent said.
“We hope that through learning more about the diverse wildlife found throughout the country, young Australians will be inspired to take action to protect the future of our animals and environment.” Fox Sports host and A-League Live enthusiast Adam Peacock is among those lucky Aussies embracing their animal surname this weekend.
“It’s a colourful surname and my daughters are quite taken with it,” he said.
“This weekend is a great opportunity for anyone with an animal surname to explore our fantastic wildlife parks,” Mr Peacock said.
Eligible visitors will need to show identification, such as a driver’s licence.
Entry is at the discretion of the venue and is redeemable only this Sunday, in Tasmania at Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary at Brighton.
