Living Things at Symbio

Pat a possum, feel a python, feed the wallabies and frolic with kangaroos on this unforgettable and exciting day at Symbio Wildlife Park! During this interactive and hands-on excursion, students embark on intimate guided tours discovering living things, their characteristics, needs, behaviours, uses and the environments in which they live. Students examine native and exotic animal species in custom enclosures that mimic native environments whilst participating in guided investigations to identify living things through observing the contrasting external features of a variety of animals and plants. They’ll hear about the challenges facing some endangered native and non-native wildlife, and be challenged to develop solutions to an identified need. They’ll think critically and learn to identify how daily and seasonal changes in the environment, such as bushfires, affect humans and other living things. With a focus on the basic needs of living things, students immerse themselves within a range of environments whilst getting up close and personal to Australian and exotic animals. They’ll be excited to share the experience with classmates and use their interpersonal skills to interact with each other and communicate their findings and observations of living things in their environment. With the additional option of hand-feeding baby farm animals and wallabies, every student will be engaged and eager to participate in this fun and memorable day!
