Zoo!

These pictures are from a couple of weeks back when it still was a bit sunnier and warmer! It has been quite rainy and windy for a week or two now, doesn't feel like spring at all! Anyway, here's some pictures from Perth, and as usual, copyright belongs to my boyfriend and all pictures can be enlarged by clicking them.

View from the Swan River front near our new home where we had a picnic. We actually live in a fairly nice area, and there are some amazingly big houses and beautiful gardens around.

I've been wanting to go to Perth Zoo for a long time now, and it was definitely the best zoo I've ever been to. There were only a limited number of animals, but they had a lot of space to move in. This little cutie is obviously a koala!

Some of the Australian animals were inside a fenced area which the visitor path also went through. So basically you were strolling amongst kangaroos, quokkas and wallabies just like you would in the bush! There were designated animal resting areas where the kangaroos liked to take it easy.


These cute lizards were also in a pen without roof and with reasonably low plexiglass fences. Luckily they had the huge boa inside a properly enclosed terrarium!!


This is a wombat. It likes to dig burrows and block the hole with its bottom, which is adapted to the purpose and is protruding and hard.


And these birds are local pests, rainbow lorikeets, and they were spotted in the park outside the zoo. From the zoo birds I liked pelicans the most, although I don't understand how they stay there when they are kept in a completely open pond. Maybe it's just that lovely in the Perth Zoo!
