Laura's visit - animals


Laura and I also had some animal adventures.




I must say I've never seen kangaroos look so much like rats as when I glanced at this cropped photo!
The highlight for me was the giraffe talk. The zoo now has 3 giraffes and after the talk they let you feed them. You stand on a very high deck and the giraffes amble right up to you.




Their tongues are a bluish colour and you certainly must hang on tight so they can rip the leaves off of the tree steam in your hand.




I also made sure that Laura got to view some 'traditional' non native animals....


But don't worry she got to see a kiwi bird (at the zoo) albeit it briefly and then a flock of pukeko birds
