Mogo Wildlife Park
Mogo Wildlife Park (formerly Mogo Zoo) is a small privately owned zoo in Mogo, on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. Description

Mogo is a member of the Zoo and Aquarium Association and has had success in breeding programs for endangered species, including the cotton-top tamarin, black-and-white ruffed lemur, red panda, and Sumatran tiger. The zoo has one of Australia's largest collections of primates. Unlike most small Australian zoos, Mogo Wildlife Park focuses on exotic species. Mogo Wildlife Park exhibits  a large African savanna, and a series of islands for primate species. The zoo took over care from some unwanted animals from other collections. During the 1990s, the zoo kept an endangered kea parrot, the only individual held in any Australian zoo at the time or since, and was also the home of the last Siberian tiger in Australasia (Kuldur, who died in June 1997 aged seventeen). Snow leopards were a long term species at the park (beginning in October 1995) and the park was the first zoo in New South Wales to birth this species when on 20 October 1999 a female cub Sheva and male cub Bhutan were born to parents Lena and Mangar, who had another pair of cubs born at the park on 12 October 2003 (female Tenzin the last Snow leopard at the park who lived for 19 years, and male Khumbu). In November 2019, Featherdale Wildlife Park bought Mogo Zoo from former owner Sally Padey, and took over full ownership and operations from the end of that month. Current species at the park
