Good news everyone! Amanda Tapping is moving to Atlantis. THANK GOD!!! I wont have to completely live without her.
So this afternoon I took myself into JB hifi and bought myself a new camera ... Canon EOS 400D, 2 lenses, a bag, a 2 GB card and a 5 year warranty. All I had to spent was just under $1800. I'm not crazy, not at all!
So yesterday Carly and I headed off to the Adelaide zoo. Until we got there, we weren't actually sure we were going to make it. We stopped off on the way for subway breakfast which was great and then continued toward the city. It started spitting a little bit, but I guess that was better than being stinking hot. Once at the zoo, we bought some anumal food and started in the children's zoo. Carly found some grinning goats (not quite as cool as the fainting goats, but still pretty cute), I fed a cow and we found three cocks in a bush. Then we visited the deer and they all kept trying to eat the paper bags and the map from my pocket. One of them had a knob on its head which I got a picture of.
We went and visited the monkey's with sore bums, the gibbons which aren't nearly as noisy as they used to be and the Tapiirs which Carly tried to call but apparently don't respond to their name. The South East Asian Rainforest section of the zoo is super cool. We were a little disappointed that the tiger was hiding, but it was kind of hot so we'll forgive it this time. We thought the lions were hiding in the tree because it looked awesome and shady, but they were lying ontop of the concrete structures in their gender separated habitats. We found some weird ass little fox things with giant ears which looked hilarious. I got a good picture of the bilbys and an awesome one of a crocodile in the water. Then I saw the Zebras out the door and said to Carly "oooh, Zebrews ... yes, Jewish Zebras". Stupid mouth not saying what my brain is thingking.
We mostly skipped over the birds except for the penguins which were cool, I got a bit of movie action from them which I have put together with some pictures and whacked up onto Youtube. It's embedded below for those interested. We were there for about 2 hours or so and spent a good clod of time looking at the meercats because they were so cute and played up for the camera. On the way to the seals and back to the car we went past the African dogs who looked super cool and then one of them puked and another came along and stole his regurgitated meat.
