The Russells took a ferry one hot, pretty day and visited the Taronga Zoo, across
the harbor from downtown Sydney.
The Taronga Zoo is located in a wonderful setting: along the harbor with great views of the Harbor Bridge and other sites. As a zoo, I would have to rate it as “OK.” The best part of the day was the Seal Show and the
Bird Show. But, the zoo was clean, had some great foliage, and it was a nice visit for a few hours. Here are a few of the many shots taken that
day.
The Fisher Cat was a vicious looking animal—sort of a fuzzier Wolverine. It likes to live in the trees, we were told.
Some of the most fun animals to watch are the little
Meercats—sort of a cuter Prairie Dog that is very active.
The Seal Show was very enjoyable. The seals are so personable and the trainers did a good job with them.
The slippery seal would scamper to a high perch, then play catch with a ball
or dive off into the water below.
The Bird Show was fun, too—some pretty interesting birds would fly very close to us in the stands, then return to their trainer.
This Cockatoo would take money from visitors, drop it in the box, and then get a
treat from his trainer.
