Perth Zoo report(2): Australian Wetland

I am sorry to be late. I’ll write mainly about Australian waterfowls.

Black-necked storks (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus) never moved. They have as much patience as shoebill.

Black swan (Cygnus atratus) is big, but it is common waterfowl in Australian lakes.

Yellow-billed spoonbill (Platalea flavipes) has longer legs and beak like spoon or spatula, but it is related to ibises. In Japan, spoonbills are very rare birds, but in Australia, they can seen commonly in lakes.

Little penguin (Eudyptula minor novaehollandiae) is the smallest penguin in the world. He is cute.

Hairy marron (Cherax tenuimanus) is the huge crayfish. Before seeing, I thought he is as small as red swamp crayfish, so I was surprised for his size although I could see only  a part of his body.

Next is about African Savannah.See you next time!
