Some Australian Animals for you...

[Fotografer]

I thought I'd share with you some photos of some Australian animals I saw at the zoo today.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I went to Australia Zoo - made famous by Steve Irwin, and I had the most amazing time there. It's the best zoo I've ever been to. The animals actually looked happy!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So let me start off my little show and tell with the more cuddly creatures:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here are some Koalas. (and if I hear anyone call it a Koala Bear I will come over and slap you... it's just Koala)</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And now some cuddly kangaroos that we could hand feed.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Now here's a non-native - the Macaw:</p>

<p>You can see it wasn't very busy today at the zoo coz it was raining and it's a friday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here is a Black Cockatoo. These make a hell of a screetching sound. if you've never heard one look them up on you tube. They're quite amazing.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And here is one of my favourite birds, a Jabiru. It is huuuuge</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Staying with the weird and wonderful birds. Here is another of my favourites - the slightly scary cassowary.</p>
<p><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y51/Meysha/AusZoo99.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>There's only about 1500 left in the wild unfortunately. Dogs attack them in the tropics unfortunately and there aren't many left. :-( They have been known to attack people too and they charge at them with their crazy helmet. I've actually seen these in the wild and they're amazing. They're about the size of an emu or ostrich.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I dunno what this bird is, but I thought it had pretty colours</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>ARHGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH! WTF Is that!!!</p>
<p><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y51/Meysha/AusZoo50copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>Honestly the ugliest head I've ever seen on a bird.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>A red bellied black snake: ARGHGHGH!</p>
<p><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y51/Meysha/AusZoo71copy.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And this is why they call it the crocoseum:</p>

<p>I thought this photo was sooooo funny. The croc kept missing the food he was throwing.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And a big crocodile just for fun.</p>
