Taronga Zoo and its strange inhabitants

Yan wanted to see koalas and kangeroos. We found out that apart from those, there were a host of other indigenous animals at Taronga Zoo whose names I cannot even begin to translate in Chinese for Yan.

They included:


the wombat




the platypus



the kookabura



We did get up close and personal with a koala though. We paid AUD$19.90 for the Koala Encounter, where we could get this close to a koala, take pictures of it, get a complimentary photo BUT not touch it nor cuddle it nor feed it! Hmph.



We also saw some other cute mammals that made us go "awww".

Happy Feet, anyone?




This was rather funny. We spotted those giraffes in the background from some distance away. They were just standing there motionless, chewing away from their pails, and we thought that they were fake, and just statues of giraffes! ^^


Yan commented, "The quality is too good already, until we thought they're not real."




Not forgetting this pretty sulky lil gal...
