  1. Doesn't the zoo have people to do that, other than you I mean?

  2. My last two zoo trips involved wandering kangaroos. I guess most other zoo guests aren't quite as persistent. Bravo!

  3. The phrase "animal husbandry" had me worried, as in the US it means not just "the care of animals", but more specifically the *breeding* of animals. I was glad to see that it only involved the careful timing of a gate opening and some persistent coaxing.

    Ah, so maybe it wasn't unlike animal husbandry at all. ;-)

  4. I just love the Adelaide Zoo! What other zoo gives an ordinary person the chance to interact like this! Great stuff.
