Our October Excursion to Taronga Zoo

At "Backyard Buddies"

The kangaroo -- Australia's most famous marsupial.

We learn about the kangaroo's lifecycle and try to draw its unusually shaped body. 

Ring-tailed Possum

Kangaroo paw

This is one of Australia's native plants. Can you tell from the photo how it was named?

Snake!

We visited the Reptile House and looked at some of Australia's native snakes.

Taking a Break

Here is our group opposite the chimpanzee enclosure. We watched the chimps and the chimps watched us.

Tired but still smiling at the end of the excursion, these 10-year-olds pose for the camera.
