Established in 1862, the Melbourne Zoo is Australia’s oldest, modeled after the London Zoo. Nestled in the heart of Melbourne, it spans a diverse landscape that hosts over 300 species from around the globe. Visitors can observe majestic elephants and lions, as well as iconic Australian animals like kangaroos and koalas. Today, the zoo not only offers a chance to see these creatures up close but also serves as a vital conservation center, dedicated to the fight against wildlife extinction.
