Zoo Antics

We couldn't resist a visit to Melbourne zoo, especially as Char hasn't had the chance to see Australian wildlife at its best.

Most of them were sensibly having a snooze in the hot Aussie sun...











Although one wombat was industriously bulldozing about!



Some were finding other ways to cool down...



The tortoises were busy as well!




Red pandas were one of our favourites...




Along with the unusual tree kangaroo!







Char got a chance to pat a ray...



And the seals seemed to love their pool, complete with wave machine!






We think these ones should be called "Na'vi birds" due to their cool little head-dresses:



The parrots were fun as well, sharing a nut together...

Hi Dave and Char - the animals at the zoo look in good shape, I love the parrots especially. I can't make out the pic after the lion, though.xx Mum

Its a whole pile of meerkats - lying against some reflective glass!
