Perth Zoo's two Asian elephants, Permai and Putra Mas, are set to move to a new 15-hectare elephant habitat at Monarto Safari Park in South Australia. Zoos SA has launched a fundraising campaign for the project, and the move is expected to take place by the end of next year. The new habitat will provide a bigger and better enclosure for the elephants and will create a new open-range herd, the third of its kind in the state. [1]
New data published by the New South Wales (NSW) government reveals that nearly 90% of marine animals caught in shark nets off NSW beaches during the 2022-23 season were non-target species, including turtles, rays, and dolphins. Of the 228 animals ensnared, only 24 were target sharks, while the remaining 204 were non-target species. [2]
A Perth teenager, Boston King, was sentenced to eight months in prison for a Christmas Eve kangaroo "killing spree" in 2022. He deliberately mowed down 11 kangaroos while driving his Landcruiser after drinking with friends at a pub. During the spree, he paused to cut off a kangaroo's tail and leg using a knife and mounted kerbs to hit more animals. [3]
