Australia Zoo

Here are some pictures we took from the Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin, the crocodile hunter's zoo). I'm not really much of one for zoos, but this was actually a really good one, probably the best zoo of the few that I have been to. The animals were all very well taken care of and seemed to be happy and healthy. They have wide open spaces where some of the animals run around freely and visitors and feed (they have special food for the kangaroos) and pet them. The turtle in the picture was the world's oldest turtle, Harriet. Unfortunately she just passed away recently, but we were lucky enough to have seen her. She was 176 when she died. We also got to pet koalas and feed elephants. I couldn't figure out how to turn around the photo where Todd is petting the koala. Well there is a brief glance at some of the animals here in Australia.
