The other day work sent me home early because we were quiet (probably because the temperature was around 35C and it felt like we were melting) so I called Mathias and he came down to the zoo. Here are a few pictures of my colleagues:
 |
| There's a new lemur enclosure that you walk through so the lemurs are just hanging around next to you! Cool! |
 |
| Scratch and sniff, "do I need to shower yet?" |
 |
| Dad? |
 |
| Pygmy hippo! He was dancing under the water. So cute! |
 |
| Poor monkey was being banged at on the window BY AN ADULT! I wanted to slap him. |
 |
| Enchilada! |
 |
| Monkey in a basket |
 |
| Sometimes I serve canapés by this enclosure, which is pretty cool |
 |
| The butterfly house is cool. If you stand still long enough they'll land on you (I don't have that much patience) |
 |
| New baby elephant!!! He's just a couple of weeks old. It was the end of the day so he was exhausted and sound asleep. |
 |
| Orangutan thugs |
 |
| Smacking his brother in the head |
 |
| Mathias has a profound love for platypuses (wikipedia tells me there is no agreed upon plural form for platypus... platypi? Platypussy?) |
 |
| There is an ice lolly over here called Golden Gaytime - a source of much humour for us, and Mathias finally got to try one. |
 |
| No. |
 |
| Sleepy wombat! |
 |
| Kangaroo slumber party |
 |
| Meow |
 |
| There's a place just south of Melbourne where you can see these penguins in the wild! We are going to go sooooon! |
 |
| Giant tortoise! I need one. |
 |
| Melting in my work trousers |
All in all, I work at a pretty cool place!
In other news, I still have a cold and I still want more sympathy. Thanks!
