Mogo Zoo

The girls, Cam, Steve, and I went to Mogo Zoo, a short drive from the farm. I've passed this zoo a bunch of times, but we never could visit. I'm so glad we did! It is the breeding ground for Australia's tigers and lions! There are over a dozen of just those animals, hanging out in these really large enclosures. It may be hard to see in this shot, but just to the right of Steve is a HUGE lion facing us. Check out the next photo, you can see him up close.

Someone paid a bunch of $ to hand feed the lion. The rest of us just watched from the other side of another fence. Check out how close we were! It was really crazy. The mane was absolutely beautiful and so full (I completely had hair envy). Overall, they must be very well fed because he didn't seem famished.

Speaking of feeding, we gave some grub to the deer. They also seemed very well fed, but all by the public. They could eat & eat & eat, but they didn't look too fat. I guess its all the hot Aussie sun that they sweat it all out.

The best part about this zoo was its size: really big spaces for groups of animals. Smaller enclosures for all the little stuff (lemurs, small monkeys, lizards, snakes, etc) too. We had a great morning!
