Anyone who knows me, or just reads this blog, will know that I love zoos and animals. On Tuesday I visited Australia Zoo which was made famous by the Crododile Hunter, Steve Irwin, who was sadly killed by a stingray in 2006. What a great zoo! There are over 500 animals and all the enclosures I saw were a good size and well 'decorated' for the creatures.
There were still a few animals I was desperate to see before I left Australia so I made sure I was able to cross cassowaries (Scarily powerful clawed feet), wombats (Much bigger than I thought), echidnas (Just visible in a hollowed log), a Tasmanian devil (Having a dip to cool down), dingoes (Which look just like regular dogs), kookaburas (I got to hear their famous 'laugh') and koalas (Very fluffy if a little smelly) off my list. I even got to see more crocodiles, stroke a small alligator and hand feed some kangaroos!
Did You Know?: Kangaroos don't just hop about on their two legs. When going at a more relaxed pace they will sometimes use their front paws and even their tails too to move themselves along!
