Koalas! Finally!
One of our friends from Boston has been here for over a year and not seen a koala yet, so last night we joined her on a trip to the Wildlife World so she wouldn't be shunned if she went home without seeing one. The Wildlife World is a small-scale zoo located in Darling Harbour that allows tourists to see Australian animals (koalas, kangaroos, salt water croc, wombat, emu, kookaburra) without having to actually leave the city. The pictures below are just a taste of what's to come from our trip(s) to various wildlife sanctuaries planned for the future.
They have a kangaroo walk where kangaroos can roam around with the people.
The bigger kangaroo is just a statue, but they can get that big out in the wild:
Fun Koala related fact: Koala's are not bears. They're actually related to wombats. People just often call them bears because they look like teddy bears.
And here's when Mark harassed a male kookaburra with a female kookaburra mating call from a youtube clip on his phone and got it to respond. Please do not call PETA to report this incident.
(Also, love his epic fail trying to jump on the branch at the end of the video)
