Galapagos Tortoises in Auckland & Surreal Galapagos Opening Exhibition | January 7th, 2016

Auckland Zoo’s Galapagos Tortoises have a new home with a much larger indoor area that has heated pools and is complemented by an outdoor environment with a mud pool and dry terrain to reflect a Galapagos landscape where tortoises would range. To help celebrate the opening of the new enclosure the Embassy and Consulate of Ecuador hosted an event at the Zoo on the 17 December 2015 for the opening of the Surreal Galapagos photographic exhibition. Friends of Galapagos New Zealand Auckland members attended the event along with members of the local Ecuadorian community and diplomatic corp of Auckland.

The Surreal Galapagos exhibition is on display at the Zoo until 28  January 2016.  Members of Friends of Auckland Zoo will be in to win a trip for two to Galapagos – found out more information with this link
