Australia Zoo

Today we went to Australia Zoo. I saw lots of animals and learned about them, too: Did you know that every marsupial baby is called a joey? Did you know that baby koalas eat their mum’s poo? That’s because the eucalyptus leaves are toxic, and they can’t yet digest them. Koalas are endangered because of habitat loss and some kind of sickness.

At Australia Zoo, there also is an animal hospital. In the koala show Sandy (the ranger) told us that any time you go to that hospital there is always a koala.

At the hospital shop I got a little keyring. It shows footprints of tiger, crocodile, cassowary, elephant, and orangutan. Look at the following picture:

When we went back to the zoo, we found it was closed. So we waited till someone came out of the shop and sneaked in. The little resin bird that grandpa bought me is a Fairy Wren:
