With a wingspan of over 3 metres, the Andean Condor is the largest flying bird of prey in the world.
Taronga’s Elephant Miracle
Taronga are delighted to welcome a new Asian Elephant Calf to the world. After six days of intensive effort by the mother Porntip, keepers and veterinarians feared the worst for our calf when they found none of the five vital signs of life. But on Wednesday morning at 3.27am, against all odds, a male calf was born.
Follow the progress of our newborn elephant calf.
