Semi Big Smoke's Zoo

Wednesdays mean my weekly drive into the semi big smoke for my pdoc appointment. In keeping with my recent obsession with photography, I decided to visit the local zoo and botanical gardens to snap off a few pictures. Below is a selection of some of the animals which are housed in the zoo.

This is definitely my favourite image out of all the photographs I took today (and I took a heap). This guy looks so thoughtful. I wonder what he is thinking, surrounded by all those bars. Thankfully my camera focussed on him rather than the bars.

Now that I have uploaded all of today's photos onto my laptop, I am seriously wishing that I made note of which animals I actually took pictures of. I have no idea what kind of bird this guy is, other than some sort of water bird ... a species of duck I guess. Whatever he is, he's a little cutie.

As an Aussie, I have no trouble whatsoever identifying this critter. Surely sleeping in a fork in a tree can't be comfortable. I guess that is a koala's life though, hey.

Mmmm, how does that song go again? Never smile at a crocodile? Now I know why. The bugger might actually smile back. Eek!

I've got a handful of other photographs from today's expedition that I will no doubt post shortly. Oh, and I guess I should write something about my pdoc appointment as well. I might keep that for another post too. *smiles*
