Mogo Zoo is a small privately owned zoo in Mogo on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia. It is a member of ARAZPA and has had some success in breeding programs for endangered species, including the Snow Leopard, Cotton-top Tamarin, Red Panda, and Sumatran Tiger. It is also the only zoo in Australia along with the National Zoo and Aquarium in Canberra to hold white lions. Unlike most small Australian zoos, Mogo Zoo focuses on exotic species. It is owned by Bill and Sally Padey.[1]

Mogo Zoo exhibits include a small reptile house, a large African savanna, and a series of islands for primate species. The zoo is currently building an exhibit for a pair of Chimpanzees that were not wanted in any other zoos in Australia, an act typical of the zoo's propensity for adopting unwanted animals.[1] Until recently[when?] it held the only Kea in any Australian zoo, and was also the home of the last Red-handed Tamarin in Australasia. Other previously held species include the Little Penguin, Cougar, and Crab-eating Macaque. Planned expansions include rhinoceros and Cheetah exhibits.
