Every day there is a new video including fascinating keeper talks, 24/7 live animal streams at Taronga Zoo, amusing animal antics and a look behind-the-scenes at what the animals (and the keepers) get up to when the zoo is closed.
There are also great resources available for teachers and for parents who are learning from home, with virtual lessons twice a week providing fun and educational content for children.
"Taronga Western Plains Zoo will always be a critical part of the community and while we aren't welcoming guests on site temporarily.
"We are so proud to continue to deliver some of the amazing stories from our Zoo right into your home," Taronga Western Plains Zoo Director Steve Hinks said.
"There's so much for guests to experience when exploring our two zoos, but there's also so much that goes on behind-the-scenes that normally goes unseen.
"From watching how our keepers care for and form close bonds with the animals through to the vital conservation work that helps safeguard some of our most precious native wildlife.
"Taronga TV allows us to share some great stories, like what goes on behind the doors at our Wildlife Hospital, while also providing entertaining and educating content for everyone at home," he said.
"We're so excited to keep everyone up to date on what's happening at the zoo through Taronga TV whilst we are in lockdown and give people the opportunity to feel connected to the zoo's animals despite not being able to visit at the moment," Steve said.
