The name and concept of this Prague Zoo’s exhibit of Tasmanian and Australian fauna were inspired by a real crater located in Tasmania and formed by a meteorite impact approximately 700,000 to 800,000 years ago.

The exhibit features around twenty animal species, with two extraordinary marsupials taking centre stage: the endangered Tasmanian devils and the wombats, ground-dwelling relatives of the koala. Prague Zoo is the only zoo in the Czech Republic to keep both species.

Other parts of the exhibit are undoubtedly just as captivating, especially the walk-through kangaroo enclosure. Visitors will also encounter egg-laying echidnas, two fascinating species of Australian snakes, and a variety of bird species.
