Australia Zoo...

...the home of the Crocodile Hunter! That's where I went today, to Steve Irwin's zoo. I was actually a little surprised at how small it was. I think the Woodland Park Zoo has a great variety of animals in it. But, the Australia Zoo does have one thing, and that's a lot of crocodiles and a lot of images of Steve Irwin and his family. They also have a lot of other native Australian animals, like koalas, kangaroos, and cassowaries (birds similar to emus). The zoo is all about the Irwins, and I think for that fact alone it's worth it to go, but only if you like Steve Irwin. His image is everywhere!!! His daughter, Bindi, is also everywhere, and even has her own clothing line and everything. They also had a lot of animal talks about the different types of animals. I went to the one on koalas, and it was very good. The rest are probably just as good, and I think this is what the zoo is good at. Another great thing that I went to was the Wildlife Warriors show, which is in the Crocoseum, which is a stadium they have there. They brought out several types of animals. The best was the birds, they had parrots, makaws, and a bunch of other really colorful ones, that are all trained to fly around the arena and get really close to you. The end of the show, and the main attraction, was a croc that they bring out and give him food to move fast and show his strength and speed. Very much like the shows where Steve Irwin would lure them out of the water and they would charge at him. It was really cool to see it in person.

You can definitely tell it's getting to be winter here. Today was overcast and quite a bit cooler than past days. It also rained a bit throughout the day.
