On Tuesday, instead of just bumming around in front of the computer I decided to go to Taronga Zoo. I've been living in Sydney for so many years but I  never had the chance to go there. The really good thing was that it was a weekday and the weather looked pretty sour so it meant that there's not many people. Nothing annoys me more than large crowds!

It only took several minutes by ferry to get there. And from some of the enclosures you get a good view of the city. Cool!

The animals were mostly shy... like the Elephants. They didn't like to face the crowd, or maybe they just wanted to show off their ginormous backsides. Hehehe!

But the Tigers and Lions were different. Instead of hiding they proudly sat in front of the visitors and gave everyone the death stare. Hehehe!

The picture that I took of the Monkeys is funny. From my vantage point it looked as though the tourists are on display. Hehehe!

Supposedly there are times during the day when they allow visitors to hug and cuddle some of the Koalas. I didn't make it on time, but that's alright 'coz I'm not really interested in that sort of thing.

But I did notice that the Kangaroos were very friendly. They actually go up to you. And when you start petting them they lie on the ground as if they don't want you to stop. A lot of the kids wanted to take them home... and I did see a girl with a Joey in her bag. Oh my. But later on I found out that she works there. Hehehe!
