 When: March 6th, 2025 3:00pm (March 7th 8:00am in Australia)

Where: Sydney, Australia

Who: Sydney Zoo - https://sydneyzoo.com/



Now in the Sydney Zoo, we get several opportunities to see many different animals. The zoo has 830 different species and about 4,000 animals! The first animal we get to see is a female lizard. She eats Snails, Spiders, and Insects. She also has a blue tongue to protect her from predators. As of right now, it is 6:06 am in Sydney! The next animal we get to see is a child Python Snake named Fettucini! It likes to hang from roofs, catch bats, and climb trees. Seeing all these creatures is so cool and exciting! Along with all of these animals, we get to see a very unique insect called a Spiny Leaf Insect. This insect pretends to be a leaf for protection, while technically being an insect! We wanted to know if they had any Sugar Gliders, which they do, but unfortunately did not get to see one. As we go along, we get to see many Kangaroos lying and going about. The biggest Kangaroo they have is called a Big Red. The Kangaroo’s were eating some grass. They are strong, intelligent, and adorable! The red Kangaroos eat enriched food for improved health. While taking a look at the Kangaroos, we also got to see an Ostrich walking around. They also have an African Rhino and many other species. In the zoo, they have a sign with the medicinal uses of plants. Australia’s weather is very hot and humid. Have you ever wondered what zoos do when fights break out between animals? The zookeepers bang objects when fights break out. Moving along, one of the animals we were most excited to see are the Koalas! They sleep 20 hours a day! I wish I could do that. They eat only about the top or the tips of the leaves of trees. The Crocodiles in the Sydney Zoo prefer to be in water rather than land. Its head is half the length of the zoo keeper's body length! Thank you for everything we got to see. We enjoyed seeing all the animals and creatures. It was all very fascinating!
