Everybody meet my new favourite animal; The Wombat! I want to somehow bring one of these cute pudgy animals home as a pet. I can’t believe it’s taken this long to see a real one (there was that Statue on Swanston St). I’m in love & I want one… Maybe I’ll just crochet one!
Other than that there were also Aussie deers, creepy emus, & albino wallabies. I hadn’t thought that albino wallabies existed until we saw them hopping around.
Apparently these wallabies a really special breed & have been taken in by this place for their protection. Breeding two albino wallabies together can just cause a mess of illnesses & diseases which tend to happen in the wild. So they’ve been taken to be separated here to breed with others where the albino gene can be passed on through generations instead. (I’m learning a lot on this trip!)
Next up: A baby Joey!
