My impression of the zoo is great, it's not huge, but they really look after their animals, and focus on conservation. You cannot believe the amount of staff! When we walked through the gates we were greeted by someone holding a baby croc and someone holding a snake. We had the opportunity to touch the animals.
Of course Brett dared me to touch the snake ... eeeewww!!!
But I surprised myself and stepped upto the challenge ...
The kids had less trouble with that, obviously more genes from their daddy!
The kids had story time when someone kept them busy for a couple of minutes while we enjoyed the best cup of coffee ever!
Look at the size of this python:
Then we watched the Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors show:
Are you ready for some serious wildlife action? Our keepers and their amazing animals will take you on a slithering, swooping, jaw-snapping adventure of epic proportions! Every day in the Crocoseum we are taking on the world’s conservation issues and protecting the animal kingdom, and we want you to join our army of Wildlife Warriors. Come on a journey of discovery and learn all about the incredible world of giant snakes, majestic elephants, colourful, soaring birds and those prehistoric legends, the big Saltwater Crocodiles. Wooo-hoo!
Interesting that the guy who presented some of the show was a Steve Irwin lookalike with the name of "Steven". Forgot to take a photo of him though.
At some point they had these parrots flying around in the arena, amazing!
I thought this guy was more than a bit crazy:
The kids fed some farms animals (I must admit, I think I enjoyed this even more than they did!)
Me and the kids petting a kangaroo, their fur is incredibly soft and fluffy!
And touching koala bears. Their fur is so thick and soft!
And of course, Brett had to show off ;-)
I think Jessica fell asleep before we left the parking lot, and Ryan not long after that, they were exhausted!
