All spiders can jump and will attack you!!!... says the people that don't know much about spiders πŸ•·οΈ

A lot of spiders are ground dwellers, including the infamous funnel web, meaning no they don't jump. Funnel webs can't even climb smooth surfaces! πŸ˜†

To spiders, humans are GIANT so trust us, they are a lot more scared of you, then you are of them πŸ‘

Some exciting news for the future of the Australian Reptile Park 🐊
 
For years, we’ve had ambitions to grow the Park, introduce new attractions, improve the visitor experience and create the space we need for the next generation.
 
WCTV’s broader vision for the surrounding site presents a real opportunity to help make that possible, while creating a much bigger tourism destination around us here at Somersby.
 
As Tim puts it: β€˜This isn’t just about protecting what we have today. It’s about creating something bigger and better for the Park, our visitors and the Central Coast.’
 
We’re excited about what lies ahead and support the Planning Proposal progressing to Gateway as the next step in bringing that broader vision forward.
 
Read the full joint media statement and learn more about the proposal at the link in our description.

Shazza is officially the LARGEST living death adder ever recorded! 🌎

We invited herpetologist Dane Trembath from the @australianmuseum to help us measure Shazza, the common death adder. She measured at a whopping 110cm long and weighing 1.55kg! 🀯

Shazza has been part of our lifesaving venom program for nine years and produces the largest venom yields of any death adder in the program! 🐍
