Dubbo Zoo
After yesterday’s 45 degrees, it was still 37 degrees at
midnight, so none of us had an ideal night’s sleep. After an early start, we arrived in Dubbo
just before lunch. We parked the van and
headed to the zoo. We watched the
African Wild Dogs feed on a roo carcass – I was quite surprised that the adults
allow the puppies to eat first.
We
watched the Ring-Tailed Lemurs and the Black-Handed Spider Monkeys being fed
fruit. We also looked at Meerkats, Black
Rhinoceros, White Rhinoceros, Greater One-horned Rhinoceros, African Elephants,
Asian Elephants (including a calf), Bongo, Giraffes, Eland, Hippopotami,
Siamang Apes, Gibbons, Zebra and a Sumatran Tiger. We then went to the caravan park and set up
for the night, so that we can use the other half of our ticket tomorrow. After dinner, I gave the boys haircuts and we
had a swim to cool down.
