Taronga Zoo is really impressive! It houses lots of Australian animals and many animals from Asia and Africa. There were Kangaroos, Koalas, Emus,Echidnas...and a Platypus!! (they are smaller than I thought, and they move REALLY fast, so it was too tough to get a photo.)
Saltwater crocs are one of Australia’s many deadly animals. They are mostly found in the North, and can grow up to 7 metres long! Just looking at the dents they leave in the sand gives you the creepy-crawlies!
Talking about creepy crawlies...the zoo had an extensive collection of snakes and lizards. I was happy to be able to identify the snakes common to the state of Victoria that aren't particular "threats to humans", but the lethal Brown snake was hiding just out of view. Damn.
