Zoo!

I went to the zoo last week! It was amazing. There were so many interesting animals that weren't even in enclosures. This is just gonna be a ton of pictures of animals with some captions. Whatever. Don't judge.

Had to take a ferry to get there. So here's another view of the Opera House. 

This weird bird was on the dock when we got off the ferry. It's neck was super long.

Tree Kangaroos are apparently a thing. These two are cuddling and sleeping. Adorable. 

No idea what this was. But it came right up to the fence to look at us in a really menacing way. probaly 4 feet tall. 

Black Swans!

A peacock. That wasn't in a cage. I later saw one right outside a eating place. There were 3 other (large) birds inside that diner, on the tables and floor just waiting for anyone to drop a crumb. 

obligatory koala. Later, he was awake and I was surprised by how fast he was. 

no idea what this was but its head was maroon and there were a lot of them. Not in cages. Just around. 

 

Look at these friends. Adorable. 

This dude might have been my favorite. Like a dinosaur. 

Komodo Dragon. This one was maybe 3-4 feet long. There was a larger one in an outside enclosure.

Look at those beautiful chompers! 

View of Sydney from the zoo. You can see the Opera house right above the trees

Skyline behind the giraffe. 

Went to a seal show. It was pretty amazing. They were REALLY well trained. 

So these two pelicans were actually in an enclosure. They would walk up to the fence and let you pet them though. Australia...

Really terrible picture of some red kangaroos. There was no fence here. Just a bundle of sticks about a foot high. I could literally have taken three steps and petted one. 

These kangaroos (red and regular (?)) were behind a fence. I'm assuming the bigger ones (not red) are slightly more dangerous.

A wallaby in the same enclosure

Lemurs! Again, no fence, just a river about five feet across.  There was a fence on one side. These guys were amazing.  

This was on the skytram thing back down to the wharf. It went over the enclosure so we could look down on the Tasmanian devil, elephants, ect.
