Trowunna Wildlife Park | TAS | Trowunna Wildlife Sanctuary | info@trowunna.com.au | 03 6363 6162 | Mole Creek | Trowunna is committed to caring for injured and orphaned wildlife.

Releasing straight into the wild, known as 'hard release', often does not work because the animal has lost some of its wild instinct. Soft release is where we care for the animal at the sanctuary and after a while, let it roam freely around while we monitor their progress. Release into the wild after this process is much more successful. Some animals will never be able to be released into the wild. These animals find a home at Trowunna. As you walk around the sanctuary, you will find some of the bird enclosures empty. This is because these birds are able to come and go as they please. If the animals are with us for their whole life, we give them the best possible quality of life we can. |

Bunbury Dolphin Discovery | WA | Dolphin Discovery Centre – Australia's Premier Wild Dolphin Experience | info@dolphindiscovery.com.au | 08 9791 3088 | Koombana Bay, WA | During the mid 1960s, local resident Mrs Evelyn Smith began feeding the dolphins from a small jetty near her home on the Leschenault Inlet (directly south of the Discovery Centre).

We don’t clearly understand why the dolphins continue to visit the Zone today, however, research suggests that the small amount of food they receive as a reward for their visit is not the only attraction. |
