The San Diego Zoo

The San Diego Zoo in Balboa Park, San Diego, California, houses more than 3,500 animals of more than 650 species and subspecies. The Zoo was a pioneer in the concept of open-air, cage less exhibits that re-create natural animal habitats. It is one of the few zoos in the world that housed and successfully bred the giant panda. Although the pandas have recently gone home to China, you can enjoy watching the archived footage of Bai Yun and Xiao Liwu recorded from January through April 2019. Children will enjoy watching the live cams and learning about baboons, penguins, apes, polar bears, tiger’s, owls, condors, butterflies, elephants, giraffes and koalas.

Taronga Zoo

Over the coming weeks Taronga will be bringing its two beautiful zoos directly into your living room! We’ve set up 24/7 live-streaming cameras at Taronga Zoo Sydney so you can enjoy your favourite animals at any time of day. Go and check out the otter-ly adorable otter family or see what mischief the cheeky Asian elephant calf, Jai Dee, is causing in the herd. Spend some time with the Sumatran Tigers. The cubs are especially playful, you might catch them chasing, playing, lounging by the water or jumping on the Jeep. Maybe you might want to sit back, relax and take in the serenity of the crystal blue waters in the Greater Southern Oceans precinct, watching the seals playfully glide and swim past. Tune in daily to see your favourite animals, meet our friendly keepers and learn what goes on behind the scenes at Taronga while our zoos are temporarily closed.

Melbourne Zoo

The Royal Melbourne Zoological Gardens is commonly known as the Melbourne Zoo. It is the primary zoo serving Melbourne. The zoo contains more than 320 animal species from Australia and around the world. We're bringing the zoo to you with 24/7 animal live feeds and updates to watch at home for children of all ages. We’ve set up live stream animal cameras and the keepers have recorded their talks so you can bring the zoo to life from anywhere. The penguins, zebras, lions, giraffes, parrots, koalas, tree-kangaroos and echidnas have been joining us live, you may also see the little snow leopard cubs. Can’t see the animals on the streams? That’s because the animals live in areas that are much bigger than what a camera can capture. Check back in later to spot them or see what you missed over the last few hours by clicking on the red line underneath each video.
