I visited Perth Zoo on August 31th. I’ll write reports about there from today.
Southern cassowary (Casuarius casuarius) is the animal that I wanted to see the best. He has very big and scary claws on each second toes.
Bush stone-curlew (Burhinus grallarius) is slenderer than I thought. It lives in dry land while most of charadriiformes are waterfowl.
Pink cockatoos (Lophochroa leadbeateri) have very beautiful crest.
Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) is the biggest bird in Australia. I like such birds that run on the ground.
Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus) is said that it is similar to anteater, but I thought he is not similar to anteater as they are said. He is smaller than I thought.
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are symbols of Australia. The situation one of them was on the ground was new to me.
All of red kangaroos (Macropus rufus) were lying. Same situation was in Caversham Wildlife Park, too.
Short-beaked echidna (Tachyglossus aculeatus) was sleeping in his nest. It lays eggs although it is mammal.
Next is about Australian Wetland. See you next time!
