Australia - Saturday Morning at the Taronga Zoo

On Saturday morning we headed out to the Taronga Zoo; a short drive from where we were staying. We have a lot of good zoo shots, but I thought you might like these best.

Here's close view of some of the giraffes at the zoo. The giraffe handler is giving a lecture about giraffes in the wild.

Next come the Koalas - an Australian favorite. First we have the sleeping koala. Looks like he should fall out of the tree, but he just hangs on.



Next we have a mom and baby koala. See the little baby's face - it's so cute!

Finally, we have the traditional koala up in a tree.

The neat thing about these koalas is that we actually got to see some of them MOVE! I don't think I've ever see a koala move in a zoo in the US. They were neat to see.
