ferry action. |

 |
| lazy koala. |
|
 |
| KOALA ENCOUNTERS! this
featured exhibit is probably one of the top money-makers for
the taronga zoo. for $A 3 per person, you can walk around the
koala's feces' covered exhibit while watching them sleep
and/or devour some eucalyptus leaves while scratching
their furry bodies. |
|
 |
| here, we happened
to be in the sleeping scenario. |
|
 |
| this (or maybe another
that looks just like it) koala was quite active while
we were in line, but it passed out a few minutes before
we were up and never recovered. |
|
 |
| sleeping koalas
and us. |

|
|
 |
| no such luck
seeing anything this exciting! |
|
 |
| this random bird was
really intent on pecking this woman's eyes out. i don't
think she fully comprehended the extent of this animal's rage. |
|
 |
| random spiky,
armored animal. |
|

| er . . . ape waste smearing
the viewing glass. initially, a huge group of visitors were obstructing
our view. upon seeing this raw animal action, the place
cleared out pretty quickly. :D snappy time! |
|
 |

in the game. |
|
 |
| for scale, note
the full grown zebras below. |
|
 |
| giraffes with
succulent zebra. |
|
 |
| gnawing and
licking a wooden post. in terms of observing raw animal behavior,
the sydney zoo ranks right there at the top. |
|
 |
| dreaming of
mauling every single one of the visitors on
the premises, including the staff. |
|
