Unusual Animal Experiences

MEET THE WORLD’S TALLEST LIVING ANIMAL

Officially named the world’s tallest living animal by Guinness World Records in 2020, Forest the giraffe stands at 5.7m tall and is still growing! Forest has been a resident at Australia Zoo for over 10 years now, and you can visit him in his African savanna habitat or even choose to adopt him to support the zoo’s conservation efforts.

SWIM WITH RAYS AND SHARKS

Not only does the Tropical Reef Snorkel program at Sea World on the Gold Coast allow you to get up close with incredible tropical fish and amazing rays, but you can also swim with black tip and white tip reef sharks. This unique experience is definitely one for the bucket list! www.seaworld.com.au/attractions/animal-adventures/ tropical-reef-snorkel
