Check out her paws. They have a layer of fur to keep them warm and protect from the cold snow.

Thanks so much for sharing those pics. Looks like you have a good time. I want to go up there now I didn't realise there was so much to see there. The wallaby looks almost white I've never seen one like that before probably because ours are darker in the south. The scorpion with no tail was cute. Don't the other one you were holding have stingers and can they sting you?
 
Great photos, looks like you had fun
 
Wow! What beautiful animals. Except the hairy mary. That one looks right freaky.

Yeah, Northern Nailtail wallabies are quite rare i believe. They almost looked like mini Red roos, with that big ol' ugly face on em! Still cute though!

I only held the forest scorpion, the boys held the others too and yes, the marbled one did bite- twice. It was fighting with the forest and a friend went in to save the day and got bit. I've never seen a man scream so much, it was hilarious! Apparently they're the only Aust scorpion to kill a human so we were all a bit worried for a while, but all was good! Still, not recommended!
 
Wow, thanks for all of those! That Red panda is FREAKING AWESOME Me wants.
 
I love the pic of the gliding glider.

Thanks! I was worried i wouldn't time it right but some how i fluked it! I could see it preparing for take off and just had a wild guess, so i was pretty happy with that. We got it on video too. They are SO silent and very very quick. Blink and we would've missed it!
 
A friend told me it's a relative of the weevle (have i spelt that right?) He was quite content to sit there while i snapped away, and after his photo shoot i let him go outside just before my OH doused the place in Mortein! Was very happy with myself (and i bet he was too!)
 
Thanks heaps Adsell! Do you know what that dragonfly is that's pictured too? He was very pretty, pitty i didn't get a good photo of him. He was too far away.
