Board supports park
There is always plenty for the family
to see and do at Orana Wildlife Park,
New Zealands largest wildlife and
conservation centre. Scheduled animal
feeds, encounters and keeper talks
occur throughout the day, every day. Adults and children alike enjoy getting
up close with many of the rare and
endangered animals. Of particular
interest are the numerous young
animals, including a spider monkey,
ringtailed lemur, giraffe calf and five lion
cubs. Visitors to the park can hand-feed the
majestic giraffe, meet the massive rhino
face to face, watch the mighty lions
devour their food, marvel at the
cheetah, and much more. Our
childrens farmyard enables youngsters
to pat a range of domestic animals such
as lambs and calves. People are encouraged to visit the
New Zealand native section to see and
learn about New Zealandfs own rare
and unique fauna, including kiwi, kea and
tuatara, an ancient relic of the dinosaur
era. Orana Wildlife Park staff gratefully
acknowledge the Fendalton/Waimairi
Community Board for their generous
support of our sealed path project. Its
assistance has enabled staff to complete
another stage of sealed pathways
around the park. |
