A very pleasant visit to Taronga Zoo. On this occasion, I met up with Sue, who I know from NPA walks. She also has a yearly pass. It was the perfect day for a visit – the Zoo was extraordinarily quiet. Not that many visitors – few overseas tourists, no school students on excursion. No crowds.
We saw a lot of animals on the day. Here are some highlights –
Squirrel Monkeys
We then visited the new Lion enclosure. The lions were in their usual state however.
Then past the Meerkats and Fenec Foxes
