Adelaide Zoo, July

Well, there's been lots that I missed posting, and one of those fun activities was the ADELAIDE ZOO back in late July. Cam & I spent a Sat there with all the friendly animals. There are two pandas from China at the zoo who have to find their food each day. Pandas generally aren't that active, but these two have fun climbing around lookin for grub like carrots or apples.







Once in a while we come across these absolutely hilarious signs. This one was near a ramp that was a bit steep, and gravel rather than paved. The unfortunate part was a real lack of crocks at the bottom...we kept trying to find them, but alas, Adelaide Zoo does not have any crocks.




We saw lots and lots of animals on our journey to the Zoo. Strange, but we also saw most of them eating something. That shouldn't be too surprising, but they always seemed to be eating something. This tiger was nibbling on some bones and Cam snapped a sweet shot.










There were seals, both a boy & a girl. They swam & you couldn't help but marvel at their ears. They can close them so easily, especially under water. Their whiskers are much bigger than I expected.








We sat down near the gibbons for a spell and watched both them and other zoo visitors. I'm not sure what was more entertaining...sometimes the girl gibbon looked like she was watching the crowd as much as the people were watching her. Definitely a ham!







One of the most difficult animals to capture was the hippo. There were two of them and they made laps from the pool to their grassland and back to the pool. Unlike the other animals, these guys weren't eating and looked a bit hungry!




Finally for everyone back in the US who saw us eating "bilby" chocolate at Easter instead of bunnies, here is one in the flesh. They are night creatures and had a red hot heat lamp in their area. Absolutely cute and amazing ears! I must admit though, their pointy nose was much more pointy than I expected.

That's all from the ZOO!
