Altina Wildlife Park is a zoo situated in Darlington Point, New South Wales, Australia. The zoo specialises in the conservation of endangered species and features a diverse range of Australian native and exotic animals. It operates horse-drawn cart tours and offers behind the scenes wildlife encounters.

List of species

In October 2023, two black-and-white ruffed lemurs (Varecia variegata) were paired for potential breeding. However, in early December, the female gave birth to three babies (2x M, 1x F), which was a complete surprise to staff. As the gestation is longer than their pairing, the female had been pregnant before being transported from Darling Downs Zoo in Queensland, and DNA testing will reveal the identity of the father.
