What do a duo of dingo pups, a baby spider monkey and a couple of little lambs have in common?
Well other than being a a combination of cuteness sure to melt the hardest of hearts, they are also the newest additions to the Hunter Valley Zoo family. It was a long three months for owner Jason Pearson after the Nulkaba zoo closed its gates during the coronavirus lockdown but he said the reopening response had been incredible.
"It's been fantastic. It's school holidays and we've seen a lot of families coming out for a visit as well as people staying in the Hunter," Mr Pearson said.
"We've got some new dingo pups and a baby spider monkey who is an absolute character. We are doing things a little differently but we are an open air facility ... So people should come along for a visit."
The birth of spider monkey, Tito, has particularly caused an excited buzz in the air for zoo keepers - you can find out more by visiting the zoo's Facebook page.
Hunter Valley Zoo is open every day except Wednesday.
