Zoo Week – Animals & Intro!

A sleepy Sun Bear

I love Adelaide Zoo. Well, in all honesty, I tend to love anything to do with animals, but Adelaide is a clear favourite. I’ve been every year since 2009. It’s only a small zoo (8 hectares), but the layout provides plenty of room for over 1,800 animals.

When I decided to visit Adelaide, I figured, I’d take the chance to visit the Zoo again. No point in breaking a yearly Zoo visit tradition. Only this time, I bought tickets to do a ‘Behind the Scene‘ hippo tour.

I took a whole heap of photos, so i’ve decided to break them up into a few posts to go live throughout the week. This post, which features general pictures from the zoo, 2 posts dedicated to the ‘Behind the Scene’ tour and an OOTD post.

Feast time for the tiny tortoises (or are they turtles?)

Of course, the weather decided to reach 38°c today, so we didn’t stick around the zoo too long. We had to arrived an hour before the Zoo opened to the public to do the animal encounter, and we left about 11:30am.  3 hours walking around it that heat was enough. Didn’t help that I fell over on Saturday and hurt myself.

Super cute Tree Shrew!

Lemur!
