Aminals

There's this chance that I may have a thing for animals.  I know I see them every day that I work (not at home anymore, miss Guinness :( ), and I know that I've worked/volunteered at such awesome places as Greenwoodhere, a primate research facility, and Denver zoo.  The thing is though I've been dying to see some marsupials.  So for the Queen's birthday (a national holiday in Oz) a friend and I went to Cleland Wildlife Park.  It was fantastic.  This is a stupidly picture heavy post.  It's kangaroos and koalas, so don't argue!

Tasmanian Devils, and for the vets in the house no obvious TVT

um, duh?

My very first kangaroo!!!!!!!!!!!!

I want to play with their feet

Browndilocks and the three kangaroos

Dingoes, very well fed dingoes

I am a fat and lazy kangaroo

I am a baby kangaroo that hasn't managed to leave the pouch and am doing everything I can too stay there (is there where Aussie males learn this?)


I want to see their teeth, though I was not stupid enough to try

  1. Better watch out when you cuddle the wild animals...I hear koalas carry chlamydia!
