Taronga Zoo

[pugsly]

Hey again peoples! Well today I headed over on the ferry and visited the Zoo I hadnt been there in about 10 years and was fantastic to see all the new changes. The enclosures are superb, probably too good as it made it hard to see lots of the animals.. That and it was about 35 degrees at one stage and they were all sleeping..

But, the reptiles were amazing, apart from the reptile show which included a blue tongue and a diamond python... disappointing! But here are the pics, sorry dialup. I recommend those who havent been there recently to check it out, i was very impressed.

This one for you pete! Was hard to get good photos as all i got was a photo of the flash most pics..

Cant add more photos as I can only upload 10 at a time to fotothing.. Ill see if anywhere else will host them as when i put them in my gallery here i cant get them out onto threads!

 

[Snow1369]

okies ! when ya can will be great (love pics)

 

[pugsly]

Tomorrow ill add some more.

Hard to get good pics though.. Blackheaded there was awesome, and the rhinosaurus Dragon thingy! lol.

But i was really impressed with the enclosures. There were also about 5000000 spinnefex hopping mice in a few different enclosures, had babies in there and everything, i know where there snake food is coming from!

Green Tree was up the back so no good pics of it... Close as we will get to having one too damn it!

I haven't been to the Zoo since I was 13... 10 years ago!

Thanks for the great pics.
I too have gained inspiration to visit a zoo.
Taronga looks pretty good - Can anyone recommend a better zoo?

legless lizard... not sure of the exact common name... starts with s but i cant recall it

These days when I visit the zoo or similar attractions I also take photos of the information plates. It makes it much easier to remember the details.

I love the shot of the Giant Cave Gecko.
