We visited the Melbourne Zoo on Sunday. Enjoyed a picnic by the reptile house, and then spent four hours dodging lots of little kids to check out the animals. Saw some interesting stuff - nice collections from southeast Asia in particular, so I got to see some animals I didn't know existed. They had big communities of gorillas and mandrills which were interesting to watch, and a variety of cats (leopards, snow leopards, lions, tigers, bobcats, pumas, etc.), but the prize exhibit (based on the number of people) was the elephants. Meanwhile, the kangaroo exhibit was largely vacant, probably because a kangaroo exhibit in Australia is like a rat exhibit elsewhere in the world.
