Baby Animals Celebrate First Christmas At The Australian Reptile Park

It's only two sleeps now until Santa makes his way down under, and the animals at The Australian Reptile Park are incredibly excited!

The baby animals born in 2021 at the award-winning Central Coast wildlife sanctuary are seen showcasing their Christmas spirit, to celebrate their FIRST EVER Christmas!

Animals featured in the video include Poppy the wombat joey, Stanley the Tasmanian devil joey, Rupert the koala joey, Linguini the ringtail possum joey and other adorable joeys born this year.

Head Keeper at the Australian Reptile Park Daniel Rumsey said, "We love getting into the Christmas spirit here and so do our animals! We needed to make sure these little guys had the perfect first Christmas and I think we pulled it off!"

Mr Rumsey continues, "Although the park itself closes on Christmas Day, a few keepers still come to work to ensure the animals are fed and enjoying Christmas just like everyone else. It's just as important to us that we spend our Christmas with these guys as well as our human families, they are a part of family too!"

The Australian Reptile Park is a hands-on zoo located the natural bush setting of the Central Coast of NSW, only 60 minutes from Sydney or Newcastle. Visitors enjoy live entertaining shows, themed exhibits and interaction with many of the wildlife park's residents.
