From a landmass as large as the continental United States to an island two miles square, the Australia and South Pacific Islands hall covers a lot of ground—and some very diverse habitats too!

In the Australia exhibits, view koalas with their cubs on board, joeys tucked in kangaroo pouches, and large, flightless emus and cassowaries. The Pacific Island portion of the hall showcases the seals and penguins of Campbell Island (located 400 miles south of New Zealand), as well as the birds of tiny Laysan Island in the Hawaiian archipelago.
