It is now 12:00am and we are Skyping Jess from the Sydney Zoo in Australia. The zoo that she works at holds many traditional animals such as lions, tigers, and koalas! She brought her adorable daughter around who gave her opinion on all the animals and gave us lots of laughs. She led the way to the kangaroos, where we learned about their diet and life style! The area is very open, and you can walk right up the animals and feed them! We got to view the kangaroos up close, and watch them nibble down a carrot. One of the kangaroos had a joey, a baby kangaroo, which we got to view from a distance. We met two other zoo keepers, Kyle and Tiara. Kyle gave us an amazing performance on the didgeridoo. After that, we walked to the Wombat enclosure. Wombats are marsupials and they're native to Australia. They have cute furry coats and a pouch for their babies that faces towards their little tails. We asked to see the dingos, so she took us to the enclosure where we met two dingos named Pocket and Rocket. We viewed a couple other animals like an echidna, emu, goats, a crocodile and a Tasmanian devil! We got to tour an amazing zoo and see the native animals of Australia! Thank you Jess!
