Posted

Riverbanks’ beloved koala Lottie has died.

Because of the exceptional care provided by Riverbanks’ during her time at the Zoo, Lottie lived 19 wonderful years and had a huge impact on the koala population in AZAaccredited zoos. Lottie was considered one of the world’s oldest koalas.

Lottie was a well-known member of the Riverbanks family, arriving in 2003 as a gift from Queensland, Australia.

She is famous for raising 11 joeys, and has left quite the impressive family tree, including 15 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren, and even 3 great great grandchildren.

Lottie was a favorite among guests and staff alike and will always be remembered as an iconic ambassador for koalas.
