Auckland Zoo

At the heart of all Auckland Zoo's work and activities is its mission: "to bring people together to build a future for wildlife”. Auckland Zoo plays a vitally important role in breeding, research and recovery programmes for threatened wildlife. In fact, a portion of your ticket goes towards the Auckland Zoo Conservation Fund to support both local and international field-based projects.
Are you following Auckland Zoo Wild Heroes?
In our latest episode of Wild Heroes, rhino Nyah crosses the ditch to her new home, and it’s all hands on deck as our kaimahi work alongside Kākāpō Recovery rangers during their busiest breeding season.
Watch new episodes on Three each Sunday at 7.00pm or stream on ThreeNow.
How do Zoo experts health check a 134 kg tiger? 🐯
In this video, carnivore keeper Emma explains how! These regular weekly health checks, coupled with daily observations of the tigers in our care, means we can keep on top of their health and wellbeing. And, if our keepers spot any changes, they can contact our dedicated veterinary team.
We have three incredible Sumatran tigers in our care, including male Ramah – who enjoys taking part in these voluntary sessions.
When you visit, head to our shared shelter – you might just catch this training in action!
