C & I got out of the car & onto a bike for a quick trip around the Dubbo Zoo. This was an interesting zoo with huge more natural containment for the animals. There were two very friendly turtles.
We got to see lots of animals, especially those from Australia. This echidna was difficult to capture, but check out this shot!The
absolute CUTEST animal there was a little rhino. While mom went for a munch, the little girl decided she would have a snack too. Cam caught her out peeking underneath mum's tum.
Of course there were lots of birds flying overhead following us on our bikes. This one paused long enough for a quick shot.
I learned something the other day about people from Afghanistan who brought camels to Australia. Many were abandoned in the outback and are still there today. The population is quite significant, and several were in Dubbo too.
We got to see a whole slew of animals hanging in the African Savanna (giraffes, hippos, zebra, and more) come running in for dinner. It was amazing to watch them all charge for the troughs. I enjoyed seeing which animals realized there was food & the time it took each group to reach the hay. Next FLASHBACK will be in Broken Hill!
