🐍 75 YEARS OF SAVING AUSTRALIAN LIVES! 🕷️

From humble beginnings in 1951 to a world-leading venom program today, what an incredible journey!

This month we're celebrating 75 years of our life-saving snake venom program and 45 years of funnel-web spider antivenom.

💚 Approximately 25,000 Australian lives saved since 1951.
💚 An estimated 300 lives saved every year.
💚 ZERO recorded deaths from funnel-web spider bites since antivenom was introduced in 1981.

What started with a handful of snakes has grown into an amazing program powered by generations of dedicated keepers.

75 years on, our mission remains the same. Saving Australian lives, one drop of venom at a time. ❤️

Turns out funnel webs aren’t very good mums 🤷‍♀️

If mum gets stressed, she might sink her fangs into her own egg sac. That’s why Emma carefully separates them, which protects potentially hundreds of baby spiders who will one day help save lives through our antivenom program 🕷️💪

💕 To have a love like Giffo and Roosta 💕

Giffo hand-raised Roosta for a whole year: feeding, cuddles and plenty of hops around the backyard 🦘🏡

Now Roosta is ready for the next chapter. He’s started staying overnight at the Park and is slowly being introduced to our kangaroo mob 🌙 It’s a big step, and he’s doing an amazing job!

Even with lots of new friends, Giffo is still #1 in Roosta’s eyes 🥹 Keep an eye out for this pair on your next visit!
