Sydney zoo










Continuing the travelog portion of this blog.

Sydney Zoo is a very good zoo -- for Australian & African animals.

It has great views of the harbor! This is where a live bird show was performed.



Wild pig is one of the few Australian animals we actually saw in the wild. Saw one at Cape Tribulation, rooting around in the jungle -- a natural aerator and said to be quite beneficial as the jungle mud can use the disturbance.







Kangaroo is quite notorious -- an Australian original. The zoo generally does a good job of simulating animal habitats -- see chimps below. Must get a bit boring for some of them nonetheless.
