And the former One Direction star, 30, enjoyed some downtime at Australia Zoo on Monday.
Niall shared an adorable video of himself cuddling up to some of the parkās animals, including Australia’s native wombat and a cockatoo.
The singer was also spotted chatting to Bindi Irwin, 25, and her husband of four years Chandler Powell, 27.
‘What a day meeting all the amazing staff and animals at @australiazoo,’ he captioned the post.

‘Awesome! Cheers mate,’ Robert Irwin, 20, commented; ‘It was an honour to have you visit,’Ā Australia Zoo wrote.
Horan tookĀ to the stage at Brisbane Entertainment Centre on Sunday night where he performed a ‘shoey’ for the packed crowd.
The shoey is one of Australia’s iconic traditions which doubles up as both a hazing punishment or celebratory ritual.
It was made increasingly popular by famed sportsmen like Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo and UFC fighter Tai Tuivasa.

It is the practice of pouring alcohol into a sweaty shoe then sculling it.Ā
Niall’s One Direction co-star Harry Styles, who toured Australia last year, also famously performed a shoey during a Perth concert.
Horan will perform at Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney on May 1 and Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne on May 3.
The 30-year-old will perform in Melbourne for a second night on May 4 after he sold out his first performance in the city.
