The Australian Reptile Park have added a news post to their website regarding their proposed new aquatic centre. I spoke today with their General Manager, to try and find out if this would include a new enclosure for Leonardo. He stated that Leonardo is very happy in his existing tank. He said that consideration may be given to including Leonardo in the new facility, but as yet nothing has been decided. The full text of the post is shown below, as well as a link to the website: "The Australian Reptile park is committed to and in the final planning stages of an aquatics centre for some of its older and longer term residents, as well as featuring some exciting new interactive conservation, education and advocacy displays. The facility will commence construction in early 2017. It will be interactive and naturalistically themed with educational displays featuring the Endangered Corroboree Frog, Green and Golden Bell Frog, Anaconda, Australian native Turtles, Snapping Turtle, Bull Frog and and many more. The Australian Reptile Park is particularly excited about this new development as amphibians and waterways are some of the most threatened species and environments in the world. Keep an eye on this space for more information about this exciting new feature at The Australian Reptile Park."
