Wildlife HQ Zoo (formerly Queensland Zoo), is located at the Big Pineapple, Woombye, Queensland on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland and opened in November 2013. [2] In March 2014 many animals were relocated from the now closed Alma Park Zoo. [3]
The zoo is open every day of the year except Christmas Day. It is open between 9am and 4pm with the last entry at 3pm.
Wildlife HQ has a range of species from around the world. Currently eleven species of bird are kept at the zoo including red-tailed black cockatoos, sulphur-crested cockatoos, southern cassowaries, emu, laughing kookaburra and tawny frogmouths. The zoo currently has more than twenty-five exotic mammal species (including thirteen primate species presently) and continue to expand their species holdings. [4] [5] The zoo also houses several Australian species of mammals including koalas, wallabies, kangaroos, bettongs, potoroos, quokkas, a wombat and an echidna. The majority of the zoo's reptile collection is exhibited in the ‘’Reptile Barn’’ which displays a diverse collection of non-venomous snakes, lizards and tortoises. [4] [6]

In April 2014, a tarantula was stolen from the zoo. [7]
