Reptile Encounters Competitors

The Australian Reptile Park is a hands-on, interactive zoo, based in Somersby on the beautiful NSW Central Coast in Australia. The Australian Reptile Park gives visitors the chance to interact with native animals and catch exciting wildlife shows! The rich and fascinating history began with the late and great Eric Worrell. What started with humble beginnings in 1958 has now grown into one of Australia’s premier tourist attractions. As the only zoo in Australia committed to saving lives with a snake and spider venom milking programs, they've contributed to saving over 300 lives a year for the past 50 years. The venom that produced is used to generate all land snake and funnel-web spider anti-venom in Australia.

ZooBorns showcases the newest and cutest baby animals born at accredited zoos and aquariums around the country. Zoos and aquariums share photos, video and information with ZooBorns, and in turn, ZooBorns shares their announcements with almost one million visitors each month. In October, 2010, ZooBorns released two books with Simon & Schuster, one for all ages and one for young children. ZooBorns aims to educate while it entertains, building awareness and empathy for animal conservation.
