Hello again.
It's been a while. Yesterday I went to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and
took part in their 'junior zoo keeper for a day' program. We got to
learn about animals such as platypuses, dingos, cockatoos, koalas,
and many other types of birds. We made clay toys with nuts stuck in
them for the cockatoos to play with and eat. We cuddled koalas, held
barn owls and pet barking owls. We cleaned the dingos enclosure and
hid bits of meat for them. We sorted through meal worms and earth
worms for a tasty lunch for Barak the platypus. It was a very full
day. I had a very good time (even though I had to get up a 6:45,
blargggg!). The employees all took very good care of the animals and
they obviously love them a lot. The Koalas were sleepy and cuddly and
would snuggle up against you. The dingos were excitable and happy and
leaped to greet you. The Platypus was energetic and could stay
underwater for over 2 minutes! We fed kangaroos and looked at tiny
joeys. I thought it was a great program and I really enjoyed myself.
