Melbourne Zoo

Definite highlights for me were the orangutans and different species of monkeys, the Gorilla that came up to the window and literally posed for us, the peacocks were awesome!! I love peacocks as they are absolutely gorgeous, the tigers were sleeping, the lions were feeding and it yet again bucketed down as it did when I was at Heasville, but yet again I say I didn't care as the sun came out once again.

The Red Panda and the Meerkats were cute and the Giraffes were fascinating to watch as one was really trying to reach some food from a tree and as tall as they are and as long as their tongues are he just couldn't get it! A good day out and as anyone who knows me knows that I love animals and so a day out at the zoo was a very enjoyable experience for me.

The animals have such awesome enclosures, the BIG orangutan was hiding in a massive potato bag, all you could see was his hand and wow what a BIG hand, he did pop his head out at one stage but never came out while I was there, two of the monkeys started play fighting and another few were showing off, fascinating to watch!

I also had the opportunity of seeing a bear up close,he came to the window and rested for a while, that was awesome, he obviously though the window was tasty as he enjoyed licking it, that was cool, he was literally on the other side of the glass, very BIG but very adorable too! The zoo is HUGE and im sure I didnt see it all, thats why you could easily spend all day there!

I got to see baby elephant Mali, what a little cutie pie!

She stuck close by to mum and was just adorable to watch, very fascinating!
