WHAT do zoo animals get up to while there are no human visitors around because we're all in isolation?
To answer that question, the Darling Downs Zoo has been sharing images of some of their animals to their Facebook page.
"Our llama group is getting to work cutting the long grass around the Africa section," the zoo wrote alongside a picture of a llama.
They also held an Easter egg hunt for the giraffes.
The zoo closed on March 27 after the State Government ordered it and other zoological facilities to close.
"The zoo regularly receives koalas and other native species from carers and wildlife hospitals, including animals that are unable to ever be released to the wild," the zoo said.
"The zoo becomes their forever home and takes on the responsibility of their housing, feed, vet care and welfare for the rest of their lives.
"The zoo receives no assistance for this vital rehabilitation work, relying on zoo admission and donations."
To help with costs, the zoo has set up a GoFundMe.
