15°C and rain today.. weird weather, especially considering that it had 35°C yesterday.. but my host told me that weather changes like this are not that unusual here.
Met up with Nick (who also organized that I could stay at Kaz’ place) today, we went to the Melbourne Zoo.
Great Zoo, they had lots of interesting animals there, like tree kangaroos, meerkats, red pandas, jaguars, pumas, tigers, lions, lemurs, and most surprisingly, coatis!

Couldn’t get any good shots of it myself though, because the coatis were both sleeping, and the short time when they moved I was too slow.. but well, I’ve seen them at least 🙂
Here are some other photos I took:
Nick, who was a Zoo volunteer, managed to get me to see a Tiger feeding from the Zookeepers side later. We could get up really close to the Tigers, amazing!
Tiger and Keeper “backstage”
*really* close
And I even got to feed one young and one adult Tiger!
It was an amazing experience, thanks again to Nick for making this possible!
You really manage to meet interesting people, not to mention get to do things most could only dream of ^^; It’s been too long since I’ve commented, though I have kept an eye on the updates.
awesome pictures again, especially the tiger up close, very dynamic
Holy crap, awesome thing Thomas!
This one pic of the tiger, the fur drawing matches his facial expression … Looks really cool, you could try to sell it as a stockphoto!
