Meet Frankie! 🦎

This beautiful frilled-neck lizard has been admitted to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, arriving a little underweight and in need of some extra TLC.

Frankie has a little journey ahead of her, but with plenty of care, nourishment and love, we’re hoping to get her back on her feet and ready to return to the wild. 🌼

Frilled-neck lizards are a rare sight here on the Sunshine Coast, making Frankie a particularly special patient!

We’ll be keeping a close eye on this gorgeous girl as she begins her road to recovery. 💚

Meet Sam! 🦘

This sweet red-necked wallaby joey was found on his own after his mum was tragically involved in a vehicle accident. Sam was spotted hopping nearby and was brought in for care after sustaining a few injuries.

It’s been a challenging journey for this little guy, with a few ups and downs along the way. Thankfully, Sam has now been with a dedicated wildlife carer for the past month, where he’s continuing to grow stronger and thrive. 🌿🥰

We’re so proud of this little fighter and can’t wait to see him one day return to the wild! 💚

Growing up is a little easier with a friend by your side! 🌈🩷🦜

Amy and Ivy arrived at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital as orphaned rainbow lorikeets. Since being paired together, they’ve kept each other company and are usually found snuggled up side by side. 🥹

They have both come leaps and bounds since being admitted, especially Amy, who wasn’t well in addition to being left orphaned.

Both have been cleared to continue their rehabilitation with a wildlife carer raising them, giving them more time to grow strong before they take their next big step back into the wild! 🌸

Savvy B might be small, but she certainly has plenty of sass! 🐨

This young female koala is currently spending time with us at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital while she receives treatment for bladder inflammation.

With her big personality keeping the team on their toes, we’re looking forward to seeing this little lady back to her best! 🥰

Rest up and enjoy those tasty leaves, Savvy B! 💚🐨💚

Meet Lavender, an adorable sacred kingfisher with the sweetest little face! 🐦💙

Lavender was brought to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital after flying into a glass pool fence. She is now receiving the best care from our wonderful team, who are closely monitoring her recovery.

We’re keeping our fingers crossed for this little fluffball. Get well soon, Lavender! 🥺

A rare visitor to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital! 🐍

We recently admitted a spectacular spectacled sea snake, and these guys are incredibly rare! This little guy, named Vecna, is only the 8th spectacled sea snake we’ve ever had at the Wildlife Hospital.

He was found beached and exhausted, something we unfortunately see with sea snakes during rough weather. 🌊

It’s important to remember that sea snakes are highly venomous and generally only come ashore when they’re unwell.

What should you do if you spot a sea snake on the beach?

🐍 Keep your distance.
🐍 Never touch the snake or attempt to return it to the water.
🐍 Contact a qualified wildlife rescue organisation for advice and assistance.

For now, Vecna is undergoing treatment and resting and regaining strength at the hospital.

Each admission gives us an opportunity to learn more about these incredible, rarely seen animals and give them the best possible chance of recovery. 💙

Fingers crossed he makes a full recovery, and can head back to the ocean soon! 🤞🏽

Meet Lenny, our brave little flying fox! 🦇

Little Lenny came into care alongside his mum, who had sadly passed away after being hit by a car. 🥺 Now this precious little grey-headed flying fox needs all the love and care we can give him.

Lenny has an injured eye and wing, but he’s surrounded by caring hands, plenty of delicious nectar, and so much love. 🍼🌸 We’re hopeful that, with time and dedicated care, this little fighter will heal and grow strong enough to return to the skies where he belongs! ☁️✨

Grey-headed flying foxes are listed as a vulnerable species, making every little life even more precious.
We’re keeping everything crossed for you, sweet Lenny! You’ve got this! 💙

After months of dedicated care at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital, Flippy the green sea turtle and Lilly Pilly the loggerhead turtle have made it back home! 🌏💙

From their time in care to this incredible moment of release, every step has been about giving these two beautiful turtles the best possible chance to return to the wild.

Thanks to the hard work and dedication of our amazing hospital team, Flippy and Lilly Pilly get a second chance. 🥺 Seeing these two swim free is a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.

Good luck, Flippy and Lilly Pilly! 🥰

Squirrel gliders are small, nocturnal marsupials with an impressive ability to glide between trees using a membrane of skin stretched between their legs. They feed on a variety of foods including nectar, pollen, insects and tree sap, and like other marsupials, their young develop safely in a pouch. These tiny gliders play an important role in our Australian ecosystems and are beautiful. We love being able to help them at the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital! 💙💚
