Pluto
Meet Pluto, our soon-to-be boss of the mob. He is a red kangaroo who has very handsome facial features. He enjoys neck rubs and long naps in the sun.
Tilly
Tilly was born in October, 2023. She is adventurous, outgoing and curious but surprisingly shy in new environments. She is pretty interactive with the keepers and likes to know what they are up to.
Brodie
Brodie was given a permanent home at Lone Pine in August 2023. Brodie was born in the wild and came into care in May 2023 after being hit by a car. Brodie is an adorable, endearing koala. He has a calm nature and has settled into his new surroundings well.
Stirling
Born on the 6th of August, 2019 Stirling is a social butterfly and just wants to be everyone’s best mate. He loves to stand beside his keepers while they clean his exhibit, and when out on walks, always makes a beeline for staff and guests to say hello!
Hendrix
Meet Hendrix, our very handsome male perentie, who arrived at Lone Pine in March 2019. Hendrix is extremely intelligent and is the process of learning to walk on a harness for enriching adventures.
Hendrix enjoys nothing more than basking in the sunshine and getting some chest scratches from his keepers.
Aroona
Aroona is one of our male platypus, born on the 1st of October 2012. Aroona is a speedy little lad, both in the water and on land. He loves chasing crayfish in his tank, and always travels through his burrow network in record speed, before snuggling up in his den for a nap.
You can easily identify Aroona by his smooth, perfectly brown bill, as opposed to Barak’s which has pink pigmentation.
Bella
There is only one word to sum up Bella: sweet.
Born January 2013, Bella is a gentle and curious soul who loves to follow around her keepers while they are cleaning. She is harness trained and enjoys going out on regular walks with her keepers to explore, sometimes even taking them for a jog!
Whether out and about, or taking a nap, Bella is sure to melt your heart.
Spirit
Meet Spirit, the wedge-tailed eagle. Spirit was originally brought into care from the wild after being struck by a car. His injuries meant that he couldn’t be released, but he still gets to fly every day as one of the stars of our Free Flight Raptor Show.
Spirit is a serious boy, but has a definite soft side and likes the occasional head scratch from his keepers. Spirit arrived at Lone Pine in November 2004.
Rocky
Rocky, our charming tree kangaroo, joined us from the wild in October 2022.
Though he was initially known for his tough exterior, we’ve since discovered that Rocky is truly a big softy, especially if you offer him some of his favorite treats.
Estimated to be born in 2015, Rocky has quickly become a beloved member of our sanctuary, winning over both staff and visitors with his captivating personality.
Harvey
Harvey, our spirited tasmanian devil, was born in April 2021.
When he first arrived at Lone Pine Sanctuary, he was a little timid with both keepers and the other male devil in his exhibit.
However, over time, Harvey has grown not only in age and size but also in confidence. Now, he’s a more assertive and playful member of our sanctuary.
Humphrey & Mabel
Meet Humphrey & Mabel, our delightful duo who bring boundless energy to the sanctuary.Â
Humphrey, born on 5th October 2022, and Mabel, born on 16th April 2023, love nothing more than having a run, wrestle, and graze in our sheep dog show paddock. They adore scratches, being brushed, and rolling in the dirt.
These two playful companions also enjoy cuddles, making them a joy to be around.
Wickham
Wickham, our saltwater crocodile, was born in mid-2008.
Wickham is a very curious guy, always keen to observe his keepers when they come in to clean his habitat. He gets especially excited on feeding days, with his favorite treat being a big fish!
Wickham has a lively personality and a keen interest in his surroundings.
Gypsy
Meet Gypsy, our adventurous Black Kite, who we estimate was born around 2015.
Gypsy loves investigating and playing with enrichment, always eager to explore new things.
He is our highest-flying bird, and on a windy day, he will soar high into the terminals, becoming a tiny speck in the sky!
Chicky
Meet Chicky, our remarkable cassowary, born in July 1996.
Chicky has a curious nature and is always very aware of her surroundings. Known for her independent spirit, she can be a bit stubborn at times and likes to do things at her own pace.
Despite her strong-willed personality, Chicky has become a cherished member of our sanctuary.
