Taronga Zoo, the home of 2600 animals of 340 species is managed by Zoological parks board of New South Wales. We spent half a day there. I was not interested to see all the animals but visiting this zoo brought back fond memory some 32 years ago.
A Tasmanian devil. The wild ones can only be found in the island of Tasmania.
On the way, we drove pass some old parts of the City.
Crossing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
A picture with my son to remember the day.
Slapping a crocodile - this replica looked real !
Can you spot the croc in the pond?
Refreshment at the Zoo's cafeteria - quarter roasted chicken with chips.
A pair of Sumatra tigers, the smallest surviving species in the world.
Lions corner.
Gorilla - the silver back.
The fingers looked similar to human's!
The Wombat, an Australian animal.
Very cute Australian Echidnas, eggs laying mammals. They are also known as spiny anteaters.
Andean Condor, the only south American birds in the zoo.
This zoo has a breeding program for the red panda.
The Giraffe range.
From the zoo, we could enjoy the picturesque surrounding views of the Sydney Harbour.
Guests could come to the Zoo by ferry from Circular Quay.
The sky safari, providing aerial views of the zoo and the harbour. We took a ride before leaving the zoo. The scenery was awesome. The fee to ride the cable car was included in the zoo's general admissions ticket.
