Healesville Zoo / Sanctuary

Josiah, myself, Dr.Howard, Brittany, Jesse and Christine travelled outskirts in a van to Healesville Zoo about one hour from Melbourne, a zoo which featured mostly Australian animals.

On the way there.

Healesville Sanctuary.

Spotted some emus. :)

Hugged some fake koala.

Because the real koala was sleeping (sleeps about 20 hours in a day!) - such cute lazy creatures!

Mr.Koala stretching itself because it was hot.

Eucalyptus leaves. Koala bears eat off the sweet ends of the leaves.

Replicas for us to touch.

They seem so real!

Next up is the devil’s playground! Tasmanian devil.

Scary eh? They come out mostly at night .

Who’s scarier? Spot the mint in my mouth.

I don’t know what bird this is but it just kept following me!

The kangaroos looking rather poised and relaxed. It likes its space.

Kangaroos’ poo. They look like atomic bombs!

Me trying to get closer to the kangaroos.

Taking a closer look. I was trying to search for its pouch.

My platypus, wombat, etc. etc. together with me.

On the way to the zoo hospital to see how they treat the animals.

Through the lense.

The laboratory.

Treating a sick birdie.

See, my platypus. He was getting rather annoyed because I insisted he stood beside whatever crappy object I wanted to feature.

Platypusary. We just kept laughing at the word.

I have a knack for taking photos of nice dead logs.

Another shot of the emu.

Some scary-looking big lizard!

Yet another dead funky log.

Goanna with the blue tongue. So gross! I still hate lizards!

Yet another cool dead log.

Some birds.

Crossing the bridge.

Pelicans breathe through their mouth, as they have no nostrils.

Arrow pointing to the dude on the left. :)

Some other gross insects I spotted on a log.

Spot the porcupine!

What an elegant stork. Nice curves. It looks like it’s sleeping though.

Some really gross-looking rat in the dark.

Spot the kermits mating.

Back to real people. Kim, Christine, Jesse and Brittany.

Dr. Howard Marans and Josiah.

On the way back to Melbourne, we spotted a really nice-looking tunnel.
