Trip to the Perth Zoo

Hey all, sorry was busy but I really have to share the pics I took at the zoo. I have about a hundred pics but I thought these would, it was a wonderfully-paced day with lots of time to really look at the animals and their behaviours. plus they had special time to walk into the enclosures itself, so it was a really good time. Alright enough talk, here are some of the pictures.


The ever adorable penguin, always a crowd favourite!



This was a sun bear! A cute baby one in the enclosure they just started.



They had a really big enclosure for the elephants (duh right).

The ever majestic tiger, I took like 20 over shots before I decided on showing you guys this one. He's looking straight at me!

This was Nat's whole purpose in coming. To see the Koala bears! But they ran away once the trainer came cos according to her it was weighing day and they hate to be weighed. And also, an interesting thing to note is that they sleep 20 hours a day and they barely drink cos they get 90% of the moisture from the eucalyptus leaves they eat.

Haha, the rhino lazing around. It was damn huge I tell you, and their skin is super thick as well.

The giraffes!



The Galapagos turtle trying to move or already moving? I dunno man, I kept saying that it probably takes forever to move. This one was about 1.2m in length.

And the tarantula spider! Saw this in the nocturnal section, where we saw a bat eating a mouse! upside down some more.

Alright then thats all for now, will put up pictures of the trip to UWA as soon as I can, plan to head to Fremantle prison tomorrow so that will be an interesting journey! Oh yes forgot to tell you that the zookeepers there are really nice, and they are really well educated with their info about animals and such. Not that I expected anything less.
Btw, one last picture!

Nat finally managed to find her relative in Perth after much searching!
Missing all,
Az
