other cool australian creatures.
i tend to like the animals that people see and say 'cool,' but then quickly leave from to go check out the crocodile in the next pen. whereas i walk on by the crocodile pen (i've seen my share of scaly large-toothed aquatic reptiles roaming free at UF; and besides, the croc is under water disinterested in coming out to please the masses).
some of my favorites from the featherdale wildlife park: kookaburas, tawny frogmouth (a kind of bird), and wombats. though, the wombats were all sleeping and hiding, i managed to get a photo of one curled up in a hollowed out treet stump.
okay and these tiny penguins? too freaking cute not to love. they're about 12" high.

Awesome tiny penguins on Phillip Island off Melbourne...hundreds come out at night every night to burrow in the sand and sleep. Can't take flash photos though, otherwise you blind them. Ack!
Another fun fact: Koalas are only awake for, like, four hours a day 'cause they're stoned on eucalyptus the rest of the time. Love it. Loving the blog, too. :) --Laura
Instead of the kangaroo that you previously agreed to send me, can I get a mini-penguin instead? I hope you saved the receipt... jvl. : )
