Sydney Zoo was opened in 2015 in western Sydney. Bramanda visited and spent far too much time watching the Otters. But here are some of the other wonderful animals we saw.
Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus)
The beautiful African Painted Dog (Lycaon pictus):
Spotted Hyena (Crocuta crocuta)
Giraffes (Giraffo camelopardalis)
African Lion (Panthera leo)
Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
The Red Pandas (Ailurus fulgens) were sadly very reclusive on our visit:
The Tufted Capuchins (Cebus apella)
The Sacred Baboons (Papio hamadryas)
A sleepy Chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes)…
…and other sleepy critters!
Capybara (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris)
The Kangaroo Island Kangaroo (Macropus Fulginosus fulginosus)
Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus)
And for the bird-lovers, portraits of the Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae)
And finally, we compared the Meerkat (Suricata suricatta)
