Sydney Taronga Zoo
It was drizzling some and the cold winds were blowing. Not the perfect weather to spend the day at the zoo but the day before was raining heavily and the winds were even colder so it was a tough decision but we decided to go ahead and prepared a picnic basket and paid AUS$30 per person to enter the Taronga Zoo. Unfortunately, no discount for the bad weather :o( And no refund that many of the animals were in hiding because of the rain either. Well, that's life ya.
We did manage to take some shots of some of the animals that we saw.
It was feeding time and you could take pictures of the keeper with the koala. But I guess these cuddly creatures had other things in mind and they went ahead and did what they do best - sleep. Don't blame them actually. With the drizzling rain, I would want to cuddle up and sleep too!
We also saw some wallabies who were busy cleaning themselves and were not very bothered by us. It was part of the walkabout and we were really close to them. And yes, there were some fellow Asian tourists who were trying to 'shoo' them *sighs* Why? Why do we do such embarassing things when we are on foreign land?
Almost didn't see these prickly creatures (see below) cuz they blended very nicely with their environment. They were busily eating, I think. What else could they possibly be doing? Any ideas anyone?
Giraffes. I like these long neck animals. They are cute and they are such a curious bunch! Unfortunately, the rain made them less curious. And they are obviously smart enough to pick to hide in the shelters with the zebras (look closely and you might spot them zebras in the picture). But guess the slight rain couldn't keep them away for long cuz soon, their necks were sticking out and they were busy looking at us :o)
Chimps are amazing. They look and behave so human like and I can just watch them for hours. Them and orangutans. But the later were in hiding from the rain and we couldn't find their hiding place so I spent a few minutes watching this fella. Check out the expression on his face. He sure didn't like the rain very much either. Pictures aren't so clear cuz of the thick glass that was between us.
I love this last picture the best. Makes me want to just go up and give the chimp a cuddle :o)
We managed to eat what we packed under a shelter, away from the rain. We tried to make the best use of our AUS$30 per person by staying at the zoo as long as we could. So it wasn't too bad a day. I can now say that I have been to the zoo in Sydney :o)
