Lone Pine Sanctuary is one of my favoritest places on earth. Too many fun things to do. We had a blast today. Grandma had to always play 'model' since me and Grandpa wanted to photograph.
The kangaroos:
A mama and her Joey who looks a wee bit to big to be in that pouch: 
Then on to snuggling with the koalas:
Met a mighty big lizard of some sort getting tongue fulls of ants as a tasty snack (check out that tongue action!):
Time to feed the lorikeets:
And then on to the sleep koalas. They only eat eucalyptus leaves and they do not get much nutrition so they sleep on average 18 - 20 hours a day!
Zen:
Last (sort of - well, in my blog) is the Bird of Prey show - fantastic, beautiful birds:
Angry eyes:
Angrier eyes!
Adorable barn owl:
Very large, beautiful bird - I forget the name:
All in all a good day - my dad took a ton of photos and my mom had a blast - so a successful day all round!
Tomorrow we are going to get up at 4:30am and drive to a rain forest hoping to catch some kangaroos in the wild at dawn. Then on to an absurdly full day.
Wish us luck!

I keep scrolling up to see those angry (and angrier) eyes! They just make me giggle.
ReplyDeleteI gotta say that the joey in the pouch is grossing me out. Very birth canal. It looks nothing like cute animated Kanga with little Roo in her pouch.
