Liz with Maddie
Symbio Wildlife Park, South of Sydney, have just released the most adorable video to their popular Facebook page showing
the heartwarming moment when Zookeeper 'Liz' received the first cuddles from a tiny Koala joey named Maddie.
Born earlier in the year as part of the wildlife parks highly successful Koala conservation breeding program, Maddie is
set to play an extremely vital role in helping educate tens of thousands of School Children and hundreds of thousands of
visitors through the education programs each and every year.
After the recent devastation from the bush fires affecting much of the Koalas wild habitat across Australia, now more
than ever the importance of educating people of all ages around their plight is so important in securing a bright future
for Australia's favourite marsupial.
Now at 8 months old, Maddie is slowly becoming less reliant on her Mother, so it was time to start the first day of
Koala School with handling being first on the agenda.
Over the coming months Maddie will continue to get more and more confident, and when the time comes and COVID
Restrictions finally ease, Schools groups return and presentations recommence, She will be ready to start her very
important role in education, with her favourite Zookeeper by her side for every step of the journey.
Symbio Wildlife Park is open to the public 364 days a year and has advanced measures in place as part of their COVID
Safe Plan. Visit: www.symbiozoo.com.au for more information regarding visiting.
