Four Year Old Birthday Rhyme

Taronga Zoo

Sunday, October 17, we went to Taronga Zoo, Zoo, Sydney Mosman located. It was the birthday of Julie last year, but every time because of time or because we had other things planned, we never had the opportunity to go there .

Zoo is Located in Mosman and offers a beautiful view over the Opera House and Harbour Bridge, it also has a large section on Australian wildlife, and involved in many backup program, because as many know of many species in Australia are being of disappearance, and this was mainly because of the impact that humans have on nature.
















At the entrance we saw koalas, and I think it's the fact that we arrived early, or they take drugs, but we saw them move, eat, and even jump from tree to tree!



Then we were in a part of the park or we can see animals walking in complete freedom around us, quite surprising for a zoo.
In order: Emu, Cassowary, Red-necked wallaby, quokka:






























Then we went to see the Tasmanian devil: a guide told us that within 25 years there would be no Tasmanian devil-free because some disease they have contracted. For this reason, a backup program was created in Australia to reintroduce healthy animals, once all the sick animals will be extinct. Luckily this program is because after the disappearance of the Tasmanian tiger, if the devil were to disappear there would be no natural predators in Tasmania ...















We then went to see the marine animals: seal, sea lion, leopard seal and penguin, and we were able to attend a "show".















Then we saw the elephants, the Taronga Zoo is proud of its elephants because they had two births, one year where the latter was not small at all to survive, this is passed on the news during a week, but ultimately he's fine:


The image remains:
giraffe, chimpanzee, brown bear, meerkat (mongoose), red panda, Aldabra tortoise (tortoise of the Seychelles), golden pheasant (golden pheasant), black cockatoo, mandarin duck (mandarin duck).
