Gorge Wildlife Park has welcomed a new generation of babies in the lead-up to spring.

Four dingo pups were born at the Cudlee Creek-based park last month.

A jabiru, which is being bottle-fed, was born two weeks ago.

The new arrivals have brought a breath of fresh air to the Redden Drive park, which has been reeling from the effects of the summer bushfires and COVID-19.

“We have four (dingo) puppies, three white boys and one that’s a little more the golden and red colour and that’s a girl,” keeper Kerry Bebbington said. “They are all very cute but unfortunately we won’t be keeping them as they will all head to either zoos or other wildlife parks in NSW.

“However, the jabiru will stay and is actually one that we are hand-raising and our keeper, Jack, has to still feed him five times a day.”

Ms Bebbington said visitors to the park could also enjoy a number of other animals, including a koala joey and a baby spider monkey.

“It’s all happening around here,” she said.

“And we even have ducklings waddling around the park.”
