OFF-SEASON BABY BOOM AT THE REPTILE PARK

Staff at the Australian Reptile Park say they’re overjoyed, amid an unexpected off-season baby boom.

Among the new additions to the Central Coast sanctuary – a Kangaroo Island kangaroo named ‘Peaches,’ seven koala joeys, baby possums, wallabies, corn snakes and blue-tongue lizards.

The animals require round-the-clock care, with some having to be bottle fed five times a day.
