    SV!! Those are awesome pics!!! :D

    And what a fantastic experience! :)

    I love zoos! With a passion! Well the good ones anyway. :)

    How cool your niece is a zoo keeper. My Great Great Grandfather was the curator of gardens at the Melbourne Zoo forever ago and he was the head keeper of the giraffes. My great great uncle the tiger keeper and also looked after the elephants and my great great grandmother hand raised the first tiger cubs born in captivity in Australia. They all lived at the zoo. :)
    I was so lucky as a teenager I got to do work experience there myself. LOVED IT! :)
    NOPE!!!

    awww... that's so cute. There was a chimp in Dublin zoo called Lucy who had to be handreared by the zoo keeper. My next door neighbour at the time often babysat :) so she'd let us know when Lucy was staying over and get to hold her and feed her and stuff... when they grab your finger with their toes you know they're special.

    here's Lucy:

    Without those diapers on....different story.

    Then again human babies would be equally as messy.

    I almost worship those critters! :D

    Nobody messes with a Polar bear! :D

    I like pandas too, but I don't recall ever actually seeing one, although they may have had them at Melbourne Zoo when I was a kid. They're very beautiful.

    Me too! :D Not that I think it would end very well! ;)

    They've had some awesome docos about Polar Bears on the tele here and I've even been able to get up close with them at Seaworld on a few occassions, which is so awesome!

    I know we've had Giant Pandas visit the Melbourne Zoo but they're not a permanent resident. We do have the red pandas which are just gorgeous and I thought we might have had Pandas at the zoo when I was a kid, because there were a lot of different kinds of bears at the zoo then. I just can't remember for sure and I can't confirm it at this point either. The enclosures were just awful when I was a kid and when they refurbished we got the Syrian Bears and the other bears we had weren't brought back.

    I don't remember them being at Taronga Zoo either, but maybe I saw them there? I know they came to visit in 1988 and were at Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide Zoos. It was a Panda tour! ;) Be nice to see them up close. :)

    Now that would be a dream come true for me! To be able to just rock up every other day. I stayed at the youth hostel quite close to Seaworld here a few years back and the pass I had let me go back and forth for a couple of days I think. That was pretty cool. To be able to take your time and know you could come back tomorrow if you wanted. :)

    When I was there last I bought a pair of kiddies polar bear ears and hehe! :D:o I was so excited I put em on me head and was walking around with them on, and I had a white top on. Suddenly all these people are asking me about the polar bears! :D

    The red pandas are different but they're still pretty huh? :)
