Featherdale Wildlife Park

Finally, a kangaroo!!! And koala, emu, dingo, wallaby, wombat, and a tasmanian devil.

But gosh, it was a mission going to this place called "Featherdale Wildlife Park" near Blacktown (the Pinoy town here in Sydney). It took me about 2hrs including waiting time using public transportation to get to this place. Geez!

But it was all worth it. I got close to a koala (as you will see in the picture below). Man, they look like they're on drugs (well, they eat eucalyptus...or other leaves, too). Koalas sleep about 20hrs a day (that's why they look like they're on drugs...sleepy heads).










I got to feed a kangaroo and some emu tried to steal away the food. Kangaroos, wallabies, emus, and other animals were free to roam around the park...so that means there was shit everywhere.










And there was a tasmanian devil. It kept sniffing something. And no, it doesn't look like the tasmanian devil cartoon, nor does it spin around like that. I notice though that it was just running around in a circle along the perimeter of the fence?!?!?!?!










And the dingo...the one that looks like a dog. The difference is a dingo doesn't bark. It howls...like a wolf. Below is also an emu.










A flying-fox and albino kangaroos










If you guys want to see a more extensive collection of animals, the Taronga Zoo would be it. I haven't been there but I hear the giraffes have prime real estate with a view of Sydney's skyline.
